The Wonky Donkey: Language-Literacy Book Companion Packet

Identify the letter d by name, sound and shape, and find it in single words and within a paragraph

Judge which words rhyme with the -onky family and then generate a rhyme independently

Match the story's adjectives to everyday meanings and reuse them to describe a character

Page 4 is a printed keyboard rather than a worksheet, offered as writing support for a student who is not writing by hand during the writing frames.

The story props need preparing before the session: cut out the accessories, laminate them with the donkey on page 10, and attach with sticky tack or a craft stick.

The five CROWD cards each carry a page number from the book, so paperclipping them into your copy in advance keeps the read-aloud moving instead of stopping to find the prompt.

Letter recognition - d is targeted three ways: a focus page with five activities, a word-level page worked with a dauber or highlighter, and a paragraph about a farm visit to scan within connected text.

Rhyme judgement and rhyme generation - one worksheet asks which two words do not rhyme with the gray column, and the next asks the student to supply a rhyme of their own for six words.

Adjective vocabulary - the book's descriptive words are matched to plain meanings, then reused in three description webs and in the "That donkey was ______" writing frame.
