Pages 1 and 2 are texts where the author says what they think: children find the author's view and reasons, then give their own. Pages 3 and 4 each hold two texts on one animal to compare. Page 5 matches topic words to their meanings, and page 6 works with any text where an author shares a view.
Before page 1, ask how many children are afraid of snakes, then read to find out what the author thinks. Have children who agree and disagree each share one reason from the text or their own experience.
Read a text together and ask "What does the author think? Do you agree?" Ask your child to give a reason for their answer.
Short texts about snakes, sharks, tigers and elephants, written at a 3rd grade level. Children tell what an author thinks and what they think themselves, compare the key points of two texts on one topic, and learn the topic words the texts use.
