Ants are very interesting insects. There are many different types of ants all over the world Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. The charts summarize the information. The photos contain a lot of visual information. The diagrams provide more information than is provided in the text. Choices for Further Support Fluency Invite students to choral read one page from the selection to read aloud to one another. Remind them to pay attention to graphic and text features and how this information helps them understand the material in a different way.
