by Ian Kwok Build Background Read the title to children and use the photo to discuss what a market is. Begin by noting that when people need to buy food, they go to a market like this one, which sells fresh fruits and vegetables. Elicit what children know about such markets, about fruits, and about vegetables, using questions like these: Alguna vez fueron a un mercado? Qué vieron e hicieron ahí? Cuáles de las frutas y los vegetales de esta foto pueden nombrar? 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 Veo. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that in this book, children will read about some fruits and vegetables they can see at a market. Explain that the photographs in the book have labels to name things. Suggested language: Vayan a la página 2 y miren la foto. Qué ven? El rótulo de la foto dice: manzanas. El libro dice: Veo las manzanas. Digan la palabra veo. Qué letra esperan ver al comienzo de veo? Encuentren la palabra Veo y pongan el dedo debajo de ella. Y pueden ver que Veo comienza con V mayúscula porque está al comienzo de la oración. Page 3: Vayan a la página 3. Qué ven en esta foto? Sí, ven zanahorias. Por eso el libro dice: Veo las zanahorias. Digan la palabra las. Las tiene tres letras y comienza con la letra l. Pueden encontrar las y poner el dedo debajo de ella? Encontrarán las en muchas páginas de este libro. Page 4: Qué dirá el libro ahora? Page 6: Help children connect the new word on this page to the title of the book. Miren la cubierta y encuentren la palabra mercado en el título. Comienza con la letra m. Ahora, vayan a la página 6. Encuentren la palabra mercado en esta página y pongan el dedo debajo de ella. Qué dirá el libro en esta página? Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo para descubrir acerca de las frutas y los vegetales. Words to Know veo 2 Lesson 6:

Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Concepts of Print Have children demonstrate proper book-handling techniques: holding the book correctly, reading from front to back, looking at the picture on each page, and then reading the sentence below from left to right. Phonemic Awareness and Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities: Listening Game Use the word las from the book to review the /s/ sound with children. Then say words, one at a time, and have children raise their hands when they hear a word that ends with /s/: manzanas, veo, sandías, cantas, saltar, mercados. Blend the Sounds Say each word sound by sound and ask children to say it. Begin with /v/ /e/ /o/. What is the word? (veo) Continue with these words: las, los, mío, soy, gusta. ABC Order Materials: magnetic or cardboard letters or letter cards. Display the names of the produce from (tomates, zanahorias, sandías, manzanas), and have children identify the fi rst letter in each. Focus on these letters, and help children refer to the alphabet chart to put these letters in ABC order. 3 Lesson 6:
