favorite activities to do with these books is practice making connections. &nbsp;They are wonderful books for teaching children how to make text to self connections. &nbsp;We like the idea of practicing making connections with children as the book is read aloud. &nbsp;You can simply have students share the text to self connections they make as you read aloud or record the connections on a page of chart paper. &nbsp;We have created a graphic organizer that you might want to use as a task for students to complete once the read aloud is complete. &nbsp;It can act as a check for you to know if students understand the idea of making text to self connections. &nbsp;<a

love listening to Anna Dewdney&rsquo;s books is because of the rhyming words. &nbsp;Each book contains many pairs. &nbsp;We have pulled out sets of rhyming words from three of the Llama Llama books. &nbsp;We have created cards so students can practice matching the words. &nbsp;For younger students, guidance will be needed. &nbsp;As a class you can work to match the rhyming words. &nbsp;For older students, you might use these cards at a rhyming center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhyming Cards:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
