Teachers, save “Read the story of The Highway Rat” to assign it to your class.

Read the story. We will also read it together at school. Can you remember the first word of the story? What was the last word of the story? Can you find any prepositions? What was your favourite adjective? Did you find any powerful verbs? Could you find any adverbs? Did the author add dialogue (speech)? Look to see how it was punctuated. Let's talk about the story together now. Did you enjoy it?
