Katy No-Pocket Analysis

I chose to create a story box of one of my childhood favorites, Katy No-Pocket by Emmy Payne. I can use this story box in the reading center in my classroom. The students in the center can retell the story with the props. Before this story box becomes a part of my reading center, I would do a close reading of Katy No-Pocket. I would focus on the story elements to make sure the children had an understanding of the story itself. I would talk about the characters, the settings, the challenges that Katy faced and how she felt through out the story. I would also use this lesson to practice sequencing of events.
This story box includes Katy the kangaroo and her baby Freddy; a squishy crocodile and her baby; a stuffed animal monkey, bird, and owl;
