What makes something scary? In Scary, Not Scary the clever illustrations and parallel story structure provide students with a look at how one word can represent something both scary or not scary depending on the context. Use this story to teach students how to compare and contrast information and how to identify declarative sentences. The use of high frequency words and repetitive text will support early emergent readers.
