Activity 1: Print Knowledge Print/Picture Correlation B: BuildingIntermediate Level


1. As read book stop after each question and have child answer the question asked using the picture. If they are having trouble, help them by pointing out the animal they are looking for. (Warning: Some of these answers are VERY difficult to find, familiarize yourself with book before going) 2. Point out word and picture that matches it (turtle then point to turtle in picture)

A: AcquiringHigh Support
Ask direct questions and say the words say the turtle. Can you show me the turtle?

C: Competent Low Support


Ask question posed in book and let child find answer on their own

Activity 2: Print Knowledge Print Directionality B: BuildingIntermediate Level


1. Throughout the book, with your finger, track the text on each page of the book while reading. 2. Every few pages, say: I am pointing to the words as I read. I am going to start over here (point to the left margin) and go all the way across the page. I read from this side (left) to this side (right). I am going to read this way: from here (point to top line) to here (point to bottom line).

A: AcquiringHigh Support
1. Open up book and begin reading. Have book facing child so they can see the page and your fingers are moving in same direction. 2. Say to the child: I am going to read from left to right. Hold your finger up and show me which direction I will read on this page. Lets do it together.

C: CompetentLow Support
1. If child understands print directionality, when reading ask them: Where do you think I am going to start reading on this page? Do you think I will start on this page (point to the right) or this page (point to the left) first?

Activity 1: Vocabulary Prepositions B: BuildingIntermediate Level


1. 2. 3. Before reading ask how we know that a book is right side up (words and pictures are not standing on their heads) As read book highlight the prepositions (these are usually in larger type). Talk about what they mean, have child find the answers to the questions with prepositions in them After reading give the child a small object or stuffed animal. Ask the child to place the animal under the table, inside the box, between the wall and the couch, etc. Conversely, place the animal yourself in those locations and ask the child to describe where the animal is.

A: AcquiringHigh Support
.
Use simple prepositions: In, on, under, on top of

C: CompetentLow Support

Use more complex prepositions: Between, beside, through

Homework 1. Re-read In, Out, and All Around with your child. Help them find the answers to the questions posed in the book. 2. Work on prepositions with your child. Play a game similar to the one played in the lesson, where the child is instructed to place an object on under between etc. At the Library 1. Find another book featuring prepositions 2. Find another book which asks many questions (Ask your librarian for help)

*Scaffolding Strategies
Use these strategies throughout the lesson to help meet the specific needs of the child.

Eliciting strategy Provides children with the correct answer to a task by providing an exact model of the ideal response. Programmer: What rhymes with cat? Bat rhymes with cat. Jose, tell me: bat, cat. Programmer: What does this word say? This word says Danger. Rashaun, say Danger. Programmer: Jose, bat and cat rhyme. Lets say it together: bat, cat. Programmer: These words say Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Ill point and say each word Rashaun, read them with me.

Co-participating strategy

Provides children with the correct answer to a task through their completion of the task with another person the teacher or a peer.

Reducing Choices Strategy

Programmer: What rhymes with cat? Helps children to complete a task by Lets see cat and hill, cat and bat which two rhymed? reducing the number of choices of correct answers. Programmer: What letter is this Rashaun is it R or S?

Low Support Strategies

What words should be written on the side of its cage? Programmer: Tell me about a time where you see signs with words on them. Programmer: We talked about rhymes before. Do you remember what a rhyme is? Programmer: What will happen next?
