Today I introduced Gracyn to The Magic Treehouse book series by starting a read-aloud book study of the first book, "Dinosaurs Before Dark" by Mary Pope Osborne. We will be analyzing the behaviors and actions of the characters as we read through this book together. In this first chapter, we were introduced to 8 1/2 year old Jack and his 7 year old sister Annie who come across a magic treehouse in the woods near their home in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania. Gracyn did a great job answering follow-up comprehension questions from chapter 1. We worked on writing the answers in complete sentences. Additionally, we practiced the pre-primer sight words with ZAP!
