Suggested language: Cuál creen que es la cosa más importante que el Sol puede hacer? 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 The sun is in the sky. The sun can help trees, grass, plants, and apples grow. Then birds sit in the trees, cows eat the grass, rabbits eat the plants, and people eat the apples. The sun helps things on Earth grow. Animals and people use what the sun helps grow. The writer uses the same language on each page but changes the name of what the sun helps grow and the animals. Challenging words are labeled in the photos. The last page is different, because it doesn t use the same sentence pattern. 2006. Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Concepts of Print Have children match one spoken word to one written word while reading and writing. Phonemic Awareness and Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities: Listening Game Remind children that when syllables come together, they can be blended together. Write mira and say mi-ra as you point to each syllable. Ask children to listen for blends as you say pairs of words. Tell them to count the syllables that are blended. Use words such as these: mi-ra/mi-ra-ba, ár-bol/ár-bo-les, a-yu-da/a-yu-dan-do. Build Sentences Materials: index cards, sentence strips. Write the high-frequency words from on index cards: mira, las, crecer, gusta, manzanas, porque, nos. Then have children write sentences that include the words on the index cards. 3
