The Book Wiggles
Our family of Book Wiggles are designed as bookmarks and a lot
more! Print them out (there are five to a page) on white or coloured card and
cut out.
Find the Book Wiggles here
Here are some suggestions for their use:
- If your child is learning to read, you could write any words which
he finds difficult on one of the segments for practicing later. He can
then colour in the segment if he remembers the word correctly.
- Use the segments to record the page number or to write notes between
teachers/parents.
- Use the bookmark as an incentive: colour in a segment or mark it
with a tick for every page/chapter/book read.
- Don't use them as bookmarks at all - instead use them to keep the
kids occupied in the back of the car! Print out a page for each child,
assign a different category (eg red bus, bicycle) to each Wiggle, and
let the children cross off or colour in a segment for each example of
that category which they spot.
- Play a game! Give each child a page of Wiggles. Assign each Wiggle a
different letter and see how fast you can fill up all the segments
with words beginning with that letter (for older children you could
specify nouns, verbs, adjectives etc).
- Print a sheet for each child or pair of children in your classroom.
Have them write a play using the Wiggles as characters. Then decorate
and cut out each worm. They could do the play as a reader's theatre by
putting the cut out shapes on tongue depressors!
