Book Snapshot Title: Penguins in the Cold Genre: Narrative Nonfiction Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Penguin adaptations for living in the cold Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): D What This Book Teaches Best How penguins stay warm in a cold place using thick feathers and blubber. Ways penguins move on ice, including waddling and tobogganing. How penguins swim well, using their wings like paddles to move underwater. How penguins stay together to share body heat when the wind blows hard. Penguin family/life cycle details shown through an egg hatching and a chick growing. Learning Goals Students will describe how feathers and blubber help a penguin stay warm. Students will identify two ways penguins move across the ice in the book. Students will explain what “tobogganing” means using details from the text. Students will describe how penguins move in water and how their wings help them swim. Students will explain why penguins stand close together when the wind blows hard. Students will recount how Pip’s dad keeps the egg safe and warm. Key Vocabulary From the Text blubber — a thick layer of fat that keeps an animal warm. waddle — walk with short steps, rocking side to side. slippery — smooth and easy to slide on. tobogganing — sliding on your belly across the ice. paddles — parts that push water to help you move. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think helps penguins live in a very cold place? Comprehension questions: Where does Pip the penguin live? Comprehension questions: What is tobogganing in the story? Comprehension questions: What does Pip’s dad do to keep the egg safe and warm? FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS HERE Printing Tips 1.

If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages .

Literacy Readers Overview This product is perfect for small group instruction, such as guided reading, strategy groups, or interventions. It could also be used for independent reading, homework, or holiday work. It could also be used for literacy stations, read-aloud practice, or sub plans. Extension Ideas There are several ways to extend the lesson, including reading twice—first for understanding, and the second time to find the key details. Perhaps you can highlight or underline a detail that answers the comprehension questions. You can also turn it into a writing activity: What did you learn, or retell the story using first, next, then, finally. You could even choose a vocabulary word, draw it, with a caption from the text. For more advanced learners, perhaps you can compare this to another text they have read recently. Differentiation Tips For differentiation, if the words are hard, then perhaps you can preview some of them before you begin. For responses, perhaps you can give the students the first few words, for example, “In the book…”. You can also pair up the students, which normally leads to one of them helping the other. You can read it through again for fluency. Perhaps you can read two or three pages at a time and then come together as a group and analyze.
