Our Dr. Seuss activity today goes along with the book, There’s a Wocket in my Pocket. After reading this book, you can either have students make these pockets or you can make them prior to the lesson. I just folded a 12×9 piece of light blue construction paper in half and cut out a pocket shape. Then you staple around the bottom and sides, leaving the top open.
These can be used for numerous things. You could write a word on a pocket and students have to write rhyming words and place them in the pockets, you could do certain vowel patterns on each pocket and place words inside the pockets, write a number on each pocket and have students find number sentences to place inside the pocket…
I have provided a 5 page download with short & long vowel word cards. You can make a pocket for each vowel sound and students can place the word cards into the correct pocket.
I’d love to hear if you have any other great ideas for using these 🙂
Cute! Thanks!

Oh and even though I am a first grade teacher, I really do know how to spell the word love. haha
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing. I have also seen it where they put two rhyming words together. You do great work!

You have great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing them!
Great idea! I will be using the "Pocket" to put "P" words in for my PreK4 class! Thank you!

You have wonderful ideas!! This is my first official day of looking around and I'm trying to soak it all in! I could really get addicted to blogging!!
This must go in my Dr. Seuss unit. Thank you for the great ideas.
I also think it would be cute to have kids create their own wocket in the pocket
