Doe in the snow story

Can our doe protect her fawn in the cold snowy night?

Ou and ow sometimes says the long o sound.

Start this lesson by asking your child to look through the story below for the words that he knows, sliding over any unknown words. (This pre-reading helps your child get a stronger grip on comprehension.)

Now, ask your child to point to each word as you read the story. Let your child read the words he is able.

After reading the story several times, you can ask your child to find words that rhyme with doe.

Writing word patterns is very important to anchoring lessons within a child's mind. Ask your child to write six rhyming words of his choice.

The story:  Doe in the snow

The doe and her fawn were lost in a snowstorm. This place was unknown to the doe. She could hear a river flowing. She wondered if it was the slow, shallow stream near the hill where she had grown up.

The doe stood very still as the blowing snow billowed around them. She must find shelter for them. Lowering her head, the doe pushed her fawn deep into the shelter of the evergreen branches behind her. Though it was not perfect, it would do for now.
