Teaching Strategy from Tompkins or Yopp & Yopp : Story boards would work well with this story. First you need two copies of the book. Start out by cutting the books apart and attaching the pages to cardboard making sure each illustration is included on a separate piece of cardboard. Laminate the cards so they will hold up. Use the cards for sequencing, story structure and word study activities.
