Who can resist Pig the Pug and Trevor? Not me!

A big shout out to Stacey at Manor Lakes as I recently enjoyed sharing this book with her students.

Here are twenty ideas to take away!

1. Introduce the book using picture of Pig the Pug to create a jigsaw for the students to solve.

2. Shared reading of the text inviting the students to read the rhyming words.

3. Create and perform a Trevor and Pig the Pug puppet show.

4. Vote and then justify your preference of character – Pig or Trevor.

I use two cups and sticks to vote.

5. View Aaron reading the story. Aaron reading Pig the Pug
