Add a picture of each child to a rectangular unit block. Use these to tell a story or, when reading a book such as “The Little Red Hen,” substitute children's names for the characters in the book. Before you read the story, ask several children which character they would like to be in the story. Use their name for that character throughout the story. When you have finished, you can have the children help retell the story with a twist such as what if Sarah (the cat) had helped Nikki (the little Red Hen).This could be done in large group.
