Turkey’s Sandtastic Beach Day Activities for Reading Comprehension
I just fell in love with this new Wendi Silvano Sandtastic Beach Day turkey story. In the story, Turkey doesn’t want to be at the petting zoo, he wants to be at the beach. So he dresses up like a crab, seashell, shark, and surfer. Unfortunately, he gets caught every time. Don’t worry, this story has a sweet ending! This book is a great story to read if you are having a beach theme day at the end of the school year. This literature extension pack is filled with comprehension strategies that you can use and differentiate for all your learners. There are also writing and word work activities as well as fun math games. Students can create a fun turkey at the beach craft too!
