Tina’s notes:

I wanted my student to practice using specific letters and contractions so I made this drawing. The student often gets confused by similar looking signs like i and e, b and c, ar and gh. I didn’t use the b, but I used the other symbols multiple times.

Drawing notes:

The original design was 32 cells wide. I modified the tail starting in row 10 to make it fit our page.

Fun facts:

Our dinosaur could be a T-Rex standing on his hind legs to reach something high to the left. He has short upper arms and a long tail to keep his balance. Weighing in at around 600 pounds, our dinosaur is approximately 13 feet tall with a 20 foot tail. With a mouth full of 60 eight-inch-long teeth, every other animal was a meal.

A lion.
