Each text page holds a short text and its questions. Page 2 is cut and glue: children cut out the three pictures and glue them in order. Page 6 asks what two new words mean, which the text explains. Page 7 works with any animal: draw it, draw one of its parts and write why it has that part.
Before reading the sequence texts, point out the words first, next, then and at last. With the reasons texts, stop at each "Why?" and ask children to find the answer in the next sentence.
Read a text together and ask "What happened first? What happened next?" or "Why does it do that?" Let your child show you where the text tells them.
Short animal texts, written with words a 1st grader can read, about how one thing leads to the next and why animals are the way they are. Children put steps in order, find the reasons a text gives and work out new words from the text.
