Pages 1 and 2 are poems, page 3 a short story about feelings; each has three questions. Pages 4 and 5 put a story beside a text of facts, and page 6 is for drawing the cover of each kind of book.
Read each poem aloud twice and let students clap on the rhyming words. Before pages 4 and 5, hold up a storybook and a nonfiction book and ask how they are different.
Read a poem together and ask which words tell a sound, a feeling or how something feels to touch.
Two poems and a story of our own in words 1st graders can read, then pairs of texts: a story beside a text of facts. Students find words for sounds, touch and feelings, spot rhymes, and tell a story from a text that gives information.
