I Know An Old Lady

[image error]The classic children’s tale, “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” has a fun, new twist!


In I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie,  a skinny old lady brings a pie to Thanksgiving dinner. She is hungry and can’t wait for dinner so she eats the pie. She isn’t full so she moves on and on until…


Well, you will have to read the book to find out what happens. Trust me, it is absolutely hilarious. In fact, this book is so much fun that I can read it again and again. A welcome respite for when a little one asks you to read a book over and over.


Take advantage of the excitement to hear the same book again and again. Re-reading a book is a great way to work on language skills. Children learn vocabulary, grammar, and how to tell a story. It is also a great way to build listening and memory skills.


Happy reading and happy eating! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Work on rhyming by figuring out the action that the animal with do:  “Dance a jig with a silly pig.”


Expand vocabulary by picking new animals and figuring out a rhyming action for the animal.


Memorize the lines so that you can retell the story later without the book.


Learn to predict by trying to figure out which animal Sally will meet next.  Hint:  the pictures will give you clues.
