Are you looking for a book-inspired activity for your beginning readers? After reading the book The Mitten by Jan Brett, your kids will have fun putting the animal pictures in order with this The Mitten Sequencing Activity.
The Mitten Sequencing Activity:
Sequencing is important in helping beginning readers comprehend what they have read. In this activity, your kids need to recall the order in which the forest animals got into the mitten and connect the pictures together. Using connect links helps your children to develop their fine motor skills too.
Why Are Fine Motor Skills Important?
From holding a pencil to turning the pages in a book, kids use their fine motor skills every day as they are learning to read and write.
The development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers in coordination with the eyes is important in not only children’s learning but also in their everyday life.
The Mitten Sequencing Activity:
What’s Included:
- 9 Story Sequencing Cards
What Else Is Needed:
- The Mitten by Lucille Colando
- White Card Stock or Copy Paper
- Paper Cutter or Scissors
- Laminator and Laminating Pouches
- Hole Punch
- Connect Links
To prepare this book-inspired activity, click on the button below to automatically download and print the sequencing cards for this activity. I like to print my resources on white card stock, because the thicker paper is more durable. But, you can use copy paper too.
Next, laminate the cards so your kids can use them over and over and cut them apart. Finally, punch holes on all of the black dots.
The Mitten Sequencing Activity:
After reading the book The Mitten by Jan Brett, your pre-readers can recall the order that animals got into the mitten. They will start with the mitten and connect all of the animal pictures in sequential order using connect links.
This comprehension activity can be used for literacy centers, small groups, morning tubs, or as an enrichment activity for early finishers in any early elementary classroom or homeschool.
The Mitten Sequencing Activity is a fun, hands-on way for beginning readers to work on sequencing and develop their fine motor skills.
