Week 7, Guided Reading "Boxer Dogs" - Phonics Phase 3 - Worksheet

In Week 7 of the Guided Reading series from All Aboard Phonics, the focus is on the energetic and beloved breed known as Boxer dogs. The material includes a worksheet designed to enhance comprehension skills, inviting children to answer questions about the characteristics and traits of Boxer dogs. Questions range from basic inquiries about the breed's size and appearance, such as whether they are big or small and if they have long hair, to more thought-provoking ones like why they are named 'boxer' and what adjectives best describe their personalities.

The worksheet also encourages children to engage with more interactive activities. They are tasked with drawing toys for the Boxer dog, which not only stimulates their creativity but also helps them associate words with objects, reinforcing their vocabulary and decoding skills. The phrase "A boxer lives for fun!" is provided for tracing and decoding, emphasizing the playful nature of the breed. Additional activities include quiet reading and drawing a picture of any animal the children would like as a pet, fostering a love for reading and a deeper understanding of different animals. Bonus questions prompt further discussion on pet preferences and the qualities that make a good pet, offering a comprehensive approach to learning about Boxer dogs and pets in general.
