Amazon.com/Enjoy-Activity-Books Enjoy Activity BOOKS The Power of Stories The experience of reading a story makes us ‘feel’ that we are part of the story, too. The words and structures that relate a story's events, descriptions, and conversations are processed more deeply. Encouraging the children to read stories should help the vocabulary and grammar consolidation in a fun and memorable way. Language (both written and spoken) is a great communication tool. We need time and practice to consolidate new skills and knowledge to become fluent. So go and start reading, and if you see a word you don't know, look it up. Things that are essential for effective communication in written and spoken English: + understanding the parts of speech * sentence structure + verb tenses * subject-verb agreement * punctuation. A silent letter is a letter that isn't heard when a particular word is pronounced. Think of the “b” in comb, the “d” in edge, and the “u” in build. A silent "e" can make the short vowel before it into a long vowel. This is why the silent “e” is also known as the bossy “e.” Bossy R (r controlled vowel). When a syllable has a vowel that is followed by r, the vowel is “controlled” by the r and makes a new sound. An r-combination syllable always has at least one vowel followed by r (ar, er, ir, or, ur, ear). Examples include yarn, car, bird, her, tiger, shirt, first, short, thorn, nurse, and turn. Homophones are words that sound the same but have a different meaning and sometimes a different spelling. Example: cell/sell, for/four, sea/see, son/sun. A contraction is a word made by shortening and combining two words. Words like didn't (did + not), don't (do + not), can't (can + not), you'll (you + will), and I've (I + have) are all contractions. An apostrophe (") is used to shorten words (to show that one or more letters are missing). Abstract nouns refer to intangible things, like qualities, ideals, feelings, and concepts. Abstract nouns are not physical things. You cannot see them, smell them, hear them, touch them, or taste them. Compound words are two or more words that have been grouped together to create a new word that has a different, individual meaning. Examples: notebook (note + book), blackboard (black + board), snowball (snow + ball), and doorstep (door + step). An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word stop can be rearranged into tops, post, and pots, as well as the word clean into lance and the word great into grate, retag, and target. Word Anagram Game puts your word spelling skills to the test. The subject of the sentence is what the sentence is about. In the sentence “Tom opened the door.” Tom is the subject. A predicate is the part of a sentence that tells what the subject is doing or what the subject is. In the sentence “Tom opened the door.” “opened the door” is the predicate. Types of Sentences. There are four types of sentences, classified by their purpose: + declarative sentence (statement - It tells us something) + interrogative sentence (question - It asks us something) + imperative sentence (command - It tells us to do something) * exclamative sentence (exclamation- It expresses surprise) The Sudoku consists of a 6 x 6 grid made up of 2 x 3 subgrids (called “regions”). Some cells already contain letters. The goal is to fill the empty cells with one letter each so that each column, row, and region contains all the letters once. Word Scramble (Jumble). This is a word game where you have to re- arrange its letters to reconstruct the original word, through the help of a given clue for each set. A crossword is a word puzzle - a grid of white- and black-shaded squares. The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases that cross each other, by solving clues that lead to the answers. Amaze is a puzzle with twists and turns, where you try to find a path from the entrance to the exit without hitting dead ends. a Thank you for choosing us! fnjoy Activity Books TABLE OF CONTENTS The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter PART1 Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits, and their names were — Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their mother in a sandbank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree. "Now, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor." "Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.” Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, to the baker's. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns. Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries; But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden and squeezed under the gate!

But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor! Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, "Stop thief!" Peter was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate. He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe amongst the potatoes. After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have got away altogether if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket. It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new. 495 2-A | Missing Letters. Write the complete word in the blank box beside each word with the missing letter.

Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter; but Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him. And rushed into the toolshed, and jumped into a can. It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in if it had not had so much water in it. Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the toolshed, perhaps hidden underneath a flowerpot. He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each. Presently Peter sneezed — "Kertyschoo!" Mr. McGregor was after him in no time and tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants. The window was too small for Mr. McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter. He went back to his work. - 16 .

Also, he was very damp with sitting in that can. After a time, he began to wander about, going lippy — lippy — not very fast, and looking all around. He found a door in a wall, but it was locked, and there was no room for a fat little rabbit to squeeze underneath. An old mouse was running in and out over the stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to her family in the wood. Peter asked her the way to the gate, but she had such a large pea in her mouth that she could not answer. She only shook her head at him. Peter began to cry. Then he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled. Presently, he came to a pond where Mr. McGregor filled his water cans. -20- 4-A | Apostrophe.

He went back towards the toolshed, but suddenly, quite close to him, he heard the noise of a hoe — scritch, scratch, scratch, scritch. Peter scuttered underneath the bushes. But presently, as nothing happened, he came out and climbed upon a wheelbarrow, and peeped over. The first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions. His back was turned towards Peter, and beyond him was the gate! Peter got down very quietly off the wheelbarrow and started running as fast as he could go, along a straight walk behind some blackcurrant bushes. Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter did not care. He slipped underneath the gate and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden. -24- Dot-to-Dot.

PART 6 Mr. McGregor hung up the little jacket and the shoes for a scarecrow to frighten the blackbirds. Peter never stopped running or looked behind him till he got home to the big fir tree. He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit hole and shut his eyes. His mother was busy cooking; she wondered what he had done with his clothes. It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight! Iam sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening.

The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin by Beatrix Potter PART1 This is a Tale about a tail — a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel, and his name was Nutkin. He had a brother called Twinkleberry and a great many cousins. They lived in a wood at the edge of a lake. In the middle of the lake, there is an island covered with trees and nut bushes. Among the trees stands a hollow oak tree, which is the house of an owl called Old Brown. One autumn, when the nuts were ripe, and the leaves on the hazel bushes were golden and green — Nutkin and Twinkleberry and all the other little squirrels came out of the wood and down to the shore of the lake. They made little rafts out of twigs and paddled away over the water to Owl Island to gather nuts. Each squirrel had a little sack and a large oar and spread out his tail for a sail. They also took an offering of three fat mice as a present for Old Brown and put them down on his doorstep. -34- aA | Verbs. Underline or circle the verbs in each sentence.

But Nutkin was excessively impertinent in his manners. He bobbed up and down like a little red cherry, singing — "Riddle me, riddle me, rot-tot-tote! A little wee man in a red red coat! A staff in his hand and a stone in his throat; If you'll tell me this riddle, Tl give you a great." Now this riddle is as old as the hills; Mr. Brown paid no attention whatever to Nutkin.

But Nutkin, who had no respect, began to dance up and down, tickling old Mr. Brown with a nettle and singing — "Old Mr. B! Riddle-me-ree! Hitty Pitty within the wall, Hitty Pitty without the wall; If you touch Hitty Pitty, Hitty Pitty will bite you!" Mr. Brown woke up suddenly and carried the mole into his house. He shut the door in Nutkin’s face. Presently a little thread of blue smoke from a wood fire came up from the top of the tree, and Nutkin peeped through the key-hole and sang — -42- "A house full, a hole full! And you cannot gather a bow!-full!" The squirrels searched for nuts all over the island and filled their little sacks. But Nutkin gathered oak apples — yellow and scarlet — and sat upon a beech-stump playing marbles and watching the door of old Mr. Brown. Antonyms Crossword Puzzle.

Then all at once there was a fluttering and a scufflement and a loud "Squeak!" The other squirrels scuttered away into the bushes. When they came back very cautiously, peeping round the tree — there was Old Brown sitting on his doorstep, quite still, with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened. But Nutkin was in his waistcoat pocket! This looks like the end of the story; but it isn't. Old Brown carried Nutkin into his house, and held him up by the tail, intending to skin him; but Nutkin pulled so very hard that his tail broke in two, and he dashed up the staircase and escaped out of the attic window. And to this day, if you meet Nutkin up a tree and ask him a riddle, he will throw sticks at you and stamp his feet and scold, and shout — "Cuck-cuck-cuck-cur-r-r-cuck-k-k!" . 62 .
