Praccidents

This story encourages children to think ahead and make good decisions. During a one-day adventure, a peer mentor helps a little boy discover that he is having praccidents, not accidents! The boy realizes that using common sense and thinking before acting is a good character trait. The repetitive phrases and rhyming format capture the readers' attention. The "if...then" pattern promotes higher level thinking skills and the writing invitation at the conclusion encourages reflecting on one's own behaviors.
