Young children love riddles and this is a format that you should try if you've never used it.They also need to learn how to ask and answer questions.Often ELL's struggle with this skill so it needs to be practiced.
Yup. We are still working on scissor skills. We are still trying to sort fruits and vegetables and we still need practice with color words. So this little guided reader hits all of this with some vocabulary to boot. I updated this from previous years, hoping the kids would like the riddle format.I am hoping they love figuring out the clues and doing some deductive reasoning. This really addresses the CCSS.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a Firstie who is Edward Scissorhands' little brother....and we cut and use scissors daily! =)
This looks cute! My kiddos love riddles and I use them as much as I can because my kiddos love solving them and writing them!

This is very cute and educationally sound. My students need more scissor activities. The riddles make them use their knowledge.
Will you post this?
