Fiction Readers: Duck Pond Fun

Duck Pond Fun is a humorous and fictional animal fantasy story about a little girl watching the ducks diving, swimming, skiing, and hiding in the lake. The story is narrated with illustrations, a speech bubble, and onomatopoeia. 

Duck Pond Fun is a simple narrative story. Illustrations match the text. Draw students’ attention to the visual features including the speech bubble as well as the layout and design of the story. Opportunities arise to discuss onomatopoeia to show duck sounds. 

Readers develop vocabulary such as verbs (diving), adjectives (three), and compound words (today). Opportunities arise to discuss capital letters at the beginning of sentences, question marks, exclamation marks, and commas.
