Go on a Reading Adventure with your Child

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Here’s a reading activity for you and your child to enjoy.  We start a Sketchy Adventure for the two of you.  What ending do you two imagine?

Sketchy’s Adventure #2

One day, Sketchy went to a parade but could not see above the crowd.

1

So she drew an elephant to sit on,

2

which worked very well,  until…

the elephant saw a mouse and began to panic.

Sketchy did not want anyone to get hurt by the elephant’s feet.

3

So she quickly drew the elephant some wings,

4

which worked very well, until…

it was time to come down.

The elephant, who had never flown before, did not know how to fly down.

So they flew on and on until they came to the top of a mountain,

5

where they could land.

The mountain was covered in snow,  which hurt the elephant’s feet.

6

So Sketchy drew a giant sled,

7

which worked very well,

until…
The rest is up to your imagination!  I hope you share what you come up with!
