Suggested language: Cómo cuáles de estos animales pueden moverse ustedes? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, make sure children understand these teaching points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text We look at many different animals in a rain forest. Most of the animals move in their own way, but two animals can move in the same way. Animals are different from one another in some ways but are the same in others. An animal can move a certain way because of its build and features. The photographs show how some rain forest animals move. The writer uses the words Mira la/el to introduce each animal. The author s purpose is to inform readers about animals in the rain forest and how they move Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Concepts of Print Have children name the uppercase letter that begins each sentence. Then have them point to the end mark for each sentence on pages 9 and 10 of. Identify the period and exclamation point, and explain what they signal. Phonemic Awareness and Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities: Listening Game Have children listen for words that begin with the same sound. Tell children to raise their hands if the words begin with the same sound, and keep their hands in their laps if the beginning sound is different. Say pairs of words, emphasizing each beginning sound, for example: rana and ratón; saltar and volar ; mono and mano; puede and perro; serpiente and saltar; nadar and niño. Matching Letters Materials: upper-and lowercase magnetic or cardboard letters or letter cards. Have children choose letters and match them with their upper-or lowercase form. 3 Lesson 8:
