 After reading this well known title, I gave students this related handout via First Grade a la carte.
Students were instructed to only color when I announced the letter and specific color to use for that particular letter. For example, "Color the letter E green." This is a great way to test their listening skills as well as lowercase letter recognition. The following week we did the same for uppercase letters. For the most part, the students had no trouble following along and it was very easy to spot who still needs work with letter recognition and following instructions. Scroll down for links to other activities to accompany this book.  This is a quick and fun activity we did at the end of the day.
Each kinder was allowed to select the word of their choice. Next, they were asked if they could sound out their word. Once they knew their word, they were asked to copy it to a piece of paper and draw a picture of the word. Since they know how to spell and write the words "the" and "and" I'd like to have them choose two words next time and connect them. For example, "The boy and the duck."
