This free Knowledge In-a-Click Grouchy Ladybug Digital Slides resource provides a Science of Reading-aligned approach to comprehension and vocabulary instruction. Built around The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle, the slides guide students through a 5-day routine that layers listening, vocabulary, comprehension, and knowledge-building.
Day 1: Students listen to the read aloud with minimal stops, collecting “bits of knowledge” to store in their knowledge case.
Day 2: Vocabulary focus with kid-friendly definitions, real-life connections, and whole-body movements. Words include friendly, grouchy, spotted, and encounter.
Day 3: Knowledge application through text-dependent questions at multiple levels.
Day 4: Vocabulary review and knowledge extension with connections to real ladybugs and kindness.
Day 5: Final review, assessment, and opportunities for students to demonstrate knowledge gained
The resource also includes optional printable practice sheets for Days 1–4, making it flexible for whole group lessons, small groups, or independent practice.
