This week we used Dr. Seuss books: Cat in the Hat, The Sleep Book, Wacky Wednesday, Hooray for Hair, and Fox in Socks as our mentor texts. We reviewed onomatopoeia (sound words), sensory details, and author's craft to identify rhyming words. The students had a great time using Dr. Seuss books to review different skills.
