The Mitten Differentiated KinderReaders Printable Book

KinderReaders: The Mitten supports early literacy with controlled text and repeated practice, using the same story in multiple formats to help you differentiate instruction.  This kit includes 4 reading levels plus a wordless version of the story so that your whole class can read the same book at varying levels.  Supplemental resources include sequencing cards, guided reading lesson plans, sight word and vocabulary cards, and a full page book for read alouds.

Traditional tale with a twist: a delightful cast of animals brings fresh charm to the traditional mitten story as they squeeze in one by one, turning a simple mitten into an imaginative, giggle-worthy surprise.
