Read each text aloud, then the questions, and let children circle. Page 1 has four short texts to sort as a story or a poem; page 2 is a poem with questions; page 3 is a story with new words; pages 4 and 5 ask what the picture shows that the words leave out; page 6 is for drawing a picture for the poem.
Before page 1, read a poem and a storybook page aloud and ask how they sound different. Poems often rhyme and have short lines; stories tell what happens to characters.
When you read a picture book together, stop and ask what the picture tells that the words do not.
Short stories and poems of our own to read aloud. Children tell a story from a poem, work out new words in a story, and find what a picture shows that the words do not say.
