Introduce vocabulary: Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse (Lionni)

Provide access to new vocabulary words (envy and mysteriously) in context as emerging readers listen to Leo Lionni's Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Explain these terms before reading the story aloud and help kids utilize context clues by asking them to raise hands when they hear one. A graphic organizer is attached.
