Shared reading exercises, where predictable sentences are read out loud as a class, offer a great opportunity for your preschoolers to review sight words and themed vocabulary words, as well as build print awareness. Mrs. Krull over at Of Primary Importance created this Cat in the Hat themed shared reading exercise - with adorable anchor chart! - that would be a Seuss-tastic addition to your Read Across America/Seuss unit lesson plans!
