Then ask: Cuáles son algunos de los animales que pueden nadar? Introduce the Text Guide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary. Explain important text features, such as the repetition of the phrase Los nadan. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that this book tells about animals that can swim; it is narrated by the girl in the cover photograph. Suggested language: Vayan a la página 2. Qué ven? Sí! Son dos peces amarillos. La niña dice: Son peces. Digan la palabra Son. Encuentren la palabra Son y pongan su dedo debajo de ella. Pueden ver que Son empieza con S mayúscula porque está al principio. La niña también dice: Nadan en el agua. Digan la palabra en. Encuentren la palabra en y pongan su dedo debajo de ella. Pueden ver que en no lleva n mayúscula porque no está al principio. Page 3: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. Vayan a la página 3. Qué ven aquí? Es un pato con cuatro patitos. Qué creen que dirá la niña ahora? Page 4: Qué animales pueden nadar aquí? Qué dirá la niña ahora? Page 6: Ahora, vayan a la página 6. Quién puede nadar ahora? Sí! Es la niña que cuenta la historia.
