Compare the two to show how the setting changed. Setting Comparison - Compare your Setting with the Setting of the story. In the first column, describe your own Place, Time, Environment, and Mood. Then, do the same for the story’s setting in the second column. Finally, compare each element of the setting. What is the same? What is different?

Do this for each character and setting in the story. Setting Analysis - Describe each element of the Setting in detail. Describe the setting, how it relates to the characters, and how the characters are in conflict with the setting. Then, identify the tone and mood of the story, how the setting affects it, and how the story would change if the setting was different.

Written in an easy-to-read and engaging style with many examples of the different types of words for blending activities and everyday application of reading skills, this learn to read workbook provides children with a strong phonemic awareness base and confidence in decoding words when reading.

Affordable and All-in-One Resource – One download replaces more than one costly workbook and offers high quality profession instruction. Target Audience: This workbook is designed for children ages 3–7 in preschool (Pre-K) or early grade 1. Pre-k – Ideal for teaching children to recognize the letters of the alphabet, the sounds they make, and the beginning of their ability to read (Chapters 1-33). Kindergarten – This workbook provides a variety of activities that correlate to the core objectives found in the K-12 English language arts curriculum such as: recognizing and reading short/long vowel sounds, identifying consonant blends/digraphs, and writing simple sentences (Chapters 34-102). Early Grade 1 – This workbook can be used to reinforce and build on skills associated with r-controlled vowels, diphthongs, sight words, and text comprehension (Chapters 103-109). This workbook’s skills are foundational and will assist children who are developing as readers; however, the skills may be too easy for students in 2nd grade and above.
