For the spirit of Halloween I picked out a few books that I thought *Trey in my child study would enjoy. "Eek! Creak! Snicker, Sneak" is about two night time tricksters named Bugbear and Bugaboo who find pleasure in frightening kids in bed. Although it might sound like it would not be a good book to use because many little kids are afraid of the dark, or whats underneath their bed, the book implies that the two nighttime tricksters are one friendly furry animal and a tall giant that just want to have a little fun. In the end, the kids devise their own plan to scare these night time crawlers and it works!
This book in particular was good for Trey* because he is a new emergent reader and he needs these kind of books to help him become a stronger reader. This story has rhyming and repetition throughout the story which makes it easier for students to learn more words based on words they already know. It also helps new emergent readers to become better spellers too.
What I really liked about this book was all the onomatopoeia's it had including giggles, "tee-hee-hee-hee" and freightening sounds such as "Eeeeks, Cr-r-reaks, and big bad H-ow-owls and Yee-ow-owls!" At the first and second grade level, students are breaking words down and spelling them out. This book is simple, has fun illustrations, and has many reading strategies and mini lessons that can be used to help kids read.
