GROUNDHOG DAY BOOK for First and Second Grade Readers

This 8-page book is a great addition to your plans and activities for Groundhog Day. The simple text teaches the children when Groundhog Day is observed, where the event was first held, who the mascot is, and what his appearance means in terms of the weather.

Key vocabulary words have been underlined and traceable sight words are included throughout the text, including:

• on
• we
• what
• is
• was
• the
• of
• about
• little
• people
• for
• come
• said
• to
• out
• will
• not
• see

Student interaction and nonfiction text features (labels, arrows, & captions) have also been added to the design.

There are two versions of the book. One includes clear black-and-white images for students to color on their own and the second version is a full-color copy.

I have also. included a differentiated back cover to accommodate for different needs or instructional purposes.
