I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words by P.D. Eastman | Fun Read Aloud with Mr. Tim, IB School Librarian
I’ll Teach My Dog 100 Words – Early Reading Classic
I’ll Teach My Dog 100 Words by P. D. Eastman is a playful and highly effective early reader that helps children build confidence with words through repetition, humour, and simple sentence structure.
As the narrator attempts to teach his dog a growing list of words, children are naturally drawn into recognising, predicting, and repeating vocabulary. The exaggerated illustrations and escalating silliness make this an ideal book for beginner readers, ESL learners, and shared read-aloud sessions.
