Guided Reading: Original Egyptian Story
An original story I wrote about an Egyptian mummy, aimed for 7-9 year olds.
Includes activities with answers and a home assignment.
Teaches the following:
Spelling and phonics (for words with ‘i’ sounds spelt with a ‘y’)
Grammar (understanding nouns and pronouns)
Vocabulary (including words related to mythology and ancient Egypt)
Emotional intelligence (emphasis on communication and teamwork)
Critical thinking
Each page has the following:
