My Trip to the Zoo Interactive Book About Me

After a trip to the zoo, you and your child can relive the fun by recording it in your child's own words, drawings, and photographs. The book provides sentence starters that children finish with words describing their personal experiences. The young authors then paste photos or draw pictures to illustrate their stories. Parents or grandparents can help children complete their one-of-a-kind book for a wonderful shared activity.

Working on this Interactive Book about Me! helps young and beginning readers (ages 2-8) improve their vocabulary, reading, and writing skills. My Trip to the Zoo also helps children identify groups of animals, understand terms of measurement, and develops their compare-and-contrast skills as they identify zoo animals that are short or tall, noisy or quiet, friendly or scary.

This activity book will bring continued enjoyment and skill development as your child shares reading the book aloud with you, family members, and friends. When your child's reading progresses beyond the level of this book, you will have a unique keepsake of a special event from his or her growing years!

One of the keys to learning to read is motivation. This interactive book, in which the child provides the text and the important images, creates that motivation. It also requires children to think critically, recall and reflect on their experiences, and then recount them in writing - all helpful in developing language skills. Great for all beginning readers and writers, including English language learners and students identified for Title I or special education programs.
