Page 1 is an article to read first; page 2 asks about its features. Page 3 is a little book laid flat, and page 4 asks how to find things in it with the contents and the index. Pages 5 and 6 pair a short text with a diagram: read the fish diagram, then label the ant from the word bank. On page 7 children write a caption for each picture.
Before reading page 1, go on a feature hunt: point to a heading, the caption, a bold word and the glossary, and ask what each is for. After page 4, have children find the contents and the index in a library book and compare them with the little book's.
Look at a nonfiction book together and play "find it fast": ask your child to find a word with the index, or a part of the book with the contents.
An article about polar bears, a little book about ants and labelled diagrams of a fish and an ant, written at a 2nd grade level. Children use headings, captions, bold words, a glossary, a sidebar, the contents and an index to find facts fast, and label and caption pictures of their own.
