Terry's Tips
Notice how the word creek is repeated on this page of the story. Reading and using words over and over again helps children build big vocabularies. This helps them to become better readers!
Extension Activity: Involve children in a fun activity that would help them use the word creek. Have them dig an imaginary creek in their sandbox or make a winding creek out of blocks. You can help children connect the word creek to other words by suggesting that they make the creek flow into a river, lake, or ocean. Talk with them about whether a boat could fit in a creek.
