Pages 1 and 2 are a poem and its questions. Pages 3 to 5 are a play in two scenes and its questions, and pages 6 and 7 a story in three chapters. Page 8 is a picture and its words, and page 9 asks about stanzas, scenes and chapters.
Read the play in groups of four, one reader a part, then talk about how the scenes split the story: the warning, then what happens. Do the picture page before the class reads any mouse deer tale; it makes a good prediction.
Read a poem together and count its stanzas. Ask how the last stanza is different from the first.
A poem in stanzas, a play in two scenes, a story in chapters and a picture that tells what the words leave out, all written at a 3rd grade level. Students name the parts of each text, explain how each part builds on the one before, and tell what an illustration adds.
