Preface
To the Teachers,
This big book is intended for Grade 2 learners found on p. 354 of the Learner’s
Materials as a spring board to a lesson in Quarter 2, Week 8, Lesson 36.
Specifically, the story aims to develop the competency on asking and answering
simple questions (who, what, where, when, why, and how) about text listened to.
Furthermore, the story when read to the learners can be a gauge to develop
other learning domains such as oral fluency, vocabulary development and attitude
towards reading, literacy and literature.
