PREPARATION

1.

Gather the books If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff and To Market, To Market by Ann Miranda.

2.

Review the interactive Construct-a-Word. In this lesson, students will practice with the ig ending. Note that there may be a few words (e.g., gig, rig) that are unfamiliar to your students; however, since these words are in the dictionary, they are marked as correct. Consider using unfamiliar words as an opportunity to expand students' vocabulary. [For the at ending, note that the words oat and eat are correct even though they do not rhyme.]
