Read each text and question aloud, and let children circle a picture. Page 1 tells how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly; pages 2 and 3 are life cycles to cut and glue in order; page 4 tells how bees and flowers help each other; pages 5 and 6 give an author's reasons; page 7 is for drawing; pages 8 and 9 are a listen and answer pair.
After reading page 1, act out the butterfly's life with the class: curl up as an egg, crawl as a caterpillar, hold still as a chrysalis, then fly. For pages 5 and 6, ask "Why? What does the author say?" before children circle.
Read one text together and ask "What happened next?" Look for caterpillars, bees or seeds outside and talk about what they will become.
Short animal texts to read aloud about how one thing leads to another, from egg to butterfly, bees and flowers, and why a giraffe is so tall. Children circle pictures to answer, cut and glue life cycles in order and draw what happened first, next and last.
