Items related to BIG BOOK: HAWKINS: JEN THE HEN 1st Edition - Cased
This series is ideal for whole class shared reading with beginners. Humorous rhyming stories supported by bold and appealing illustrations provide a range of opportunities to cover aspects of text level word level and sentence level work. The flip-the-page format of the original small books has been retained allowing the whole class to understand that if they can read JEN they can read HEN PEN and lots of other simple words that follow the same CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern. Children will quickly get the idea that they can create and recognize strings of rhyming CVC words simply by changing the initial consonant. Extension work can include changing both consonants to make other CVC words with a middle short "e" sound discussing the dialogue and punctuation in the speech bubbles and exploring the characters through role-play.
