Word Bird comes with 57 pages of downloadables including instructions for running a Word Bird session and activity ideas to create a great metalinguistic task for pre-schoolers and those in the early years of school.
Each session, a new written word goes inside a plastic egg. After she lays her egg, students discover and discuss the new word inside the egg. Word Bird draws attention to the first letter and the sound it makes then might clap the syllables with her feathery wings or for shorter words, think of a rhyming word. She shows kids how she reads.
* The Word Bird puppet comes with one coloured plastic egg and a downloadable program containing everything you need to know for the Word Bird session.
