Term 1 Text: The Little Red Hen

Week 3 Plan: The Little Red hen

This example of a traditional story provides a good starting point for a discussion of reasons, or causes of incidents in stories. The patterned text provides an opportunity for everyone to join in an oral retelling of a traditional tale. Careful explanation of some of the vocabulary may be necessary as the process of growing wheat and grinding into flour may not be familiar to children!
