Pages 1 to 3 each hold a story and four questions. Page 4 matches each beginning to its ending; pages 5 and 6 ask what the pictures tell that the words do not; page 7 is an organizer for how a character responds in any story.
After each story, ask students to act out how the character felt at the beginning and at the end. Talk about how the ending answers the problem the beginning sets up.
Ask your child how a character in a book changed from the beginning to the end, and why.
Three stories of our own about animals facing a challenge: a penguin who wants to fly, an owl afraid to leave the nest, and a sea otter who loses his rock. Students tell how each character responds, how the story begins and ends, and what the pictures add to the words.
