If you want to see photos or get a special shoutout, you can visit our Instagram or check out our website. You can also watch all of our read-along stories there or send us a message to say hi!
Guess what? We have a special message today! Yay! We want to give a big shoutout to Mrs. Reagan’s class in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Thank you so much for sending us today’s book. We are super excited to read it with you!
The book we’re going to read today is called “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs” by John Cheska, with pictures by Lane Smith. It’s going to be so much fun! Let’s dive into the story and see what adventures await us.
Reading stories is a great way to learn new things and use your imagination. As we read, think about how the story might be different from the one you already know about the Three Little Pigs. What do you think the wolf will say? Let’s find out together!
Remember, reading is like going on an adventure in your mind. You can visit new places, meet interesting characters, and learn important lessons. So, let’s get started and enjoy the story!
Story Comparison: After listening to “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs,” think about the original story of the Three Little Pigs that you might already know. Draw two pictures: one showing a scene from the original story and another showing the same scene from the new story. How are they different? Share your drawings with a friend or family member and explain the differences you noticed.
Create Your Own Ending: Imagine you are the author of “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.” How would you end the story? Write or draw your own ending. Think about what you would want the wolf or the pigs to do next. Share your ending with your class and see how many different ideas everyone has!
Character Interview: Pretend you are a reporter who gets to interview one of the characters from the story. What questions would you ask them? Write down three questions you would like to ask the wolf or one of the pigs. Then, with a partner, take turns pretending to be the character and answering the questions. This will help you think about the story from the character’s point of view.
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:
