Teaching tips
- Draw the steps together first, then let kids add color and a background that shows where their witch lives.
- Read the word bank aloud before kids write, and act out one or two of the words.
- Pair a kindergartner with an older buddy: one draws, both tell the story, the buddy writes it down.
- Print double-sided so the steps are on the back. Kids flip the page when they want to check a step.
