Sheet 2 of 4
The Lighthouse Keeper's Cat
Short read-aloud with actions
The lighthouse keeper and cat climb: one step, two steps, three steps.
The lamp says blink. The water says hush. The cat says meow.
They count together and tap the rail: one, two, three.
Image prompt Vertical spot illustration for chapter-book interior feel: stone lighthouse with lantern gallery, black cat on windowsill, small anchor and rope coil as corner motifs. Black-and-white line art consistent with the lighthouse keeper cat story, no caption text in image.
Your turn:
- Point to the cat each time you hear "cat."
- Tap three times when you hear "one, two, three."
- Make one quiet wave sound together.
