As this is the first time I have read a phonetically regular book, I notice a few things. First, I notice that it is a level 15 book which means there are much simpler books in the series. Another thing I notice is that it generally uses the same type of language, involving slam and dunk somehow. The content in this book is not super in depth, rather it just plays with language. We would never see language like this in real life.
This book would be good for 2nd graders. It's too advanced for first graders, and most third graders would find it boring because it's too easy.
In my classroom, I could see myself using it to teach phonics or to allow students to practice their phonemic awareness. I couldn't see using it for much else.… (mais)

This picture book told the story of two named Slam and Dunk who played basketball. They were getting ready for their big game against the bobcats. The bobcats were bigger than they were, and they were for sure that the would win. All of their parents showed up for the game to cheer them towards a victory. After a very tight game, and Slam and Dunk with the win, both teams showed great sportsmanship and shook hands.

I believe that this book shows great character. I would like to incorporate this book into possible three different lesson plans. Of course, it would be great for reading comprehension. I would like to incorporate it into a math lesson, because of the adding of the points throughout the game. This book could also be used for a language art lesson used for descriptive writing.… (mais)
