Like most kids, Dereese gets really tired of reading the short stories in the End of Year Test Prep workbook. So every once in a while I bring in a story for Dereese to read. We then read through story, brainstorm possible endings, and then I have Dereese finish the short story. To help Dereese sound out the bigger words we oftentimes work on recognizing tricky letter combinations. This is an excerpt from a story we wrote while working on the "ea" letter grouping. (Dereese wrote the last paragraph.)
Title: The Best Test of Basketball Skills
Authors: Dereese and Patrick
Patrick was leaning against the basketball hoop eating a big piece of meat. Patrick knew he was going to win! After all, he was a lot meaner than Dereese. Dereese ran up to Patrick dribbling the ball...criss cross, in between the legs, behind the back...and then bounced it off Patrick's head.
"I hope you're ready," Dereese yelled!
"Oh, you're dead!" Patrick yelled back!
Patrick could never know what was going to happen next. Dereese was criss crossing Patrick then he took a shot and made it. Patrick could not believe his eyes! "Mama no!" Patrick exclaimed. The girls went crazy because Ree Ree made it! The shot was so perfect that the net lit on fire and Patrick had to call the fire department.
