Baking a Cake
Phase 1 - Book 2 - pre-reader Illustrated by Suze McElroy Letters and Sounds
Parent / Teacher Notes:
These pre-reading books have been designed to develop language, communication and vocabulary skills.
Listen to the student as they turn each page and retell the story in their own words.
Students will often choose to read the story in first-person
narrative, starting sentences with I, we or let’s e.g. I put flour in the bowl. You may want to start by discussing the cover and choosing a name for the character to encourage the use of second-person narrative e.g. Elle put flour and eggs in the bowl.
Use the discussion questions on the back-inside-cover to further comprehension, vocabulary and expressive language skills.
