Pages 1 to 5 each hold a short text with its questions: children read the text, then circle the words, yes or no, or the picture for each answer. Page 6 works with any of the texts: write the main topic, then draw and write three details. Pages 7 and 8 are a listen and answer pair: read page 7 aloud, then hand out page 8, which has the questions without the text.
Read a text together first, then let children read it again on their own or with a partner. Ask "What is it all about?" before they answer the first question, and "How do you know?" after the details. Point out the Words to Know and their pictures before reading.
Read one text a day together. Let your child read it to you, then ask them to tell you the most important thing about the animal and one thing they learned.
Short texts about snails, crabs, bats, sheep and seals, written with words a 1st grader can read. Children read each one, tell what it is all about, answer questions about its key details and draw what they learned.
