2 by Erin Spencer Build Background Help children use their knowledge of things that live in the sea to think about the book. Help them anticipate the text with a question like: What kinds of things can you think of that live in the sea? Introduce the Text Guide children through the text, noting important ideas and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that this book tells about places underwater called coral reefs. Suggested language: Turn to page 2 and look at the picture. The fi rst sentence reads: Many plants and animals live in the ocean. Say the word live. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in live? Find the word live and put your fi nger under it. What are some plants and animals you know that live in the ocean? Page 3: Explain that some pictures in the book have labels to name things. The label in this picture says: coral reef. Coral reefs grow in warm shallow water, or water that isn t deep or cold. How does the photo help you understand what a coral reef is? Pages 4 5: Remind children that information in the pictures can help them read. On page 4 you can see a close-up picture of coral. Tell what you see. How does the diagram on page 5 help you understand what coral is? Page 6: Turn to page 6 and look at the picture. The label says these fi sh are called clownfi sh. Put your fi nger under the label clownfi sh. Say the word clownfi sh. What are the two smaller words in the word clownfi sh? Why might this fi sh have been given this name? Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out all about coral reefs. Words to Know grow live many their warm water 2 Lesson 11:
3 Read As the children read, observe them carefully. Guide them as needed, using language that supports their problem solving ability. Respond to the Text Personal Response Ask children to share their personal responses to the book. Begin by asking what they liked best about the book, or what they found most interesting. Suggested language: Would you like to visit a coral reef? Why or why not? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help children understand these teaching points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text Many plants and animals live in the ocean. Coral reefs grow in the ocean and many animals and plants live in them. Coral reefs are amazing habitats. People need to work at preserving coral reefs or they may disappear. The color photographs reflect the sensory details described in the text. The use of labels helps readers learn the names of plants and animals in the sea. The writer s purpose is to inform readers about the wealth of life living in coral reefs Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Fluency Ask children to choose a page of the book to read aloud. Remind them to pay attention to phrasing. By breaking each sentence into natural phrases, readers reflect the meaning of the sentence. Phonemic Awareness and Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities: Compound Words Materials: whiteboards, markers. Write these compound words from the story on the board: clownfi sh, butterfl y, lionfi sh, frogfi sh. On their whiteboards, have children write the two words that make up each compound word. Ending Sounds Say each of the following words one at a time: plant, coral, fi nd, warm, water, deep. Have children repeat each word, and then say the ending sound. 3 Lesson 11:
4 Writing About Reading Critical Thinking Read the directions for children on BLM 11.7 and guide them in answering the questions. Responding Read aloud the questions at the back of the book and help children complete the activities. Target Comprehension Skill Author s Purpose Explain to children that they can think about the author s purpose by finding details in a book that show why the author writes a book. Model how to think about the author s purpose: Think Aloud Thinking about why the author wrote this book will help me learn about coral reefs. The author wants me to know about things that live in coral reefs. On page 3 I see a picture of coral reefs. The description on the page gives details about these places. Here s one. Coral reefs grow in shallow water. This is water that is not deep. Here s another detail: This water is warm. These details help me learn about coral reefs. Practice the Skill Have children choose another book and tell the author s purpose for writing it. Writing Prompt Read aloud the following prompt. Have children write their response, using the writing prompt on page 6. Why do people have to work hard to keep coral reefs safe? What would happen if they disappeared? Write a paragraph. Tell what you learned from reading the book. 4 Lesson 11:
5 Read directions to children.
