I don’t know about you, but dragons aren’t the only ones who love tacos! For this week’s Literacy Snack Dragon Tacos Read Aloud we’re reading Dragons Love Tacos, by Adam Rubin.

“Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Buckets and buckets of tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa . . . oh, boy. You’re in red-hot trouble.”

My kids absolutely love this book and I just knew I needed to turn it into one of our Literacy Snacks. We of course are having tacos!

Literacy Snack Idea Dragons Love Tacos

I’m sure you’ve made tacos before so I’ll save you from instruction, but give you some tips. Save your sanity and buy the tacos shells that stand up. Life-changing! For the ground beef, I made it at home and brought it in a crockpot and just kept it on low all day, stirring once in a while to keep it warm until we were ready to use it.

I included taco sauce since that’s what the dragons don’t like. You’ll have a few adventurous kiddos that will want to try it and I love that! I just made sure to get mild.

While the students are enjoying their snacks, I created a worksheet for them to work on. It’s a word search with words from the book, words about tacos and dragons.
