This Guided Reading Book - Gravity Made Simple (Level H) includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Gravity Made Simple Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Science (Physical Science / Earth & Space Science) Primary Topic: How gravity works on Earth and in space Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best Gravity is a hidden, always-active force that pulls things toward Earth’s center. Gravity keeps objects on Earth’s surface—without it, things would float away. Gravity keeps the air close to Earth, forming the atmosphere that living things need to breathe. Gravity works in space too: Earth’s pull keeps the Moon in an orbit, and the Moon’s gravity affects ocean tides. Mass and gravity connect: more mass means a stronger gravitational pull, and weight measures gravity’s pull. Learning Goals Explain what gravity is and what it does to objects on Earth. Describe what happens when an object is dropped, according to the text. Tell how gravity helps keep objects (and air) close to Earth. Describe how Earth’s gravity affects the Moon’s orbit. Explain how the Moon’s gravity is connected to tides along the coast. Use the text to explain how mass relates to gravitational pull. Key Vocabulary From the Text gravity — a force that pulls things toward Earth. atmosphere — the thick layer of air around Earth. orbit — the path something takes around a planet. mass — how much matter is inside an object. tides — ocean water rising and falling along the coast. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think happens when you drop an object? Comprehension questions: What does the book say happens when an object is dropped? Comprehension questions: What does Earth’s pull do for the Moon’s path around Earth? Comprehension questions: What does the book say causes tides along the coast? Printing Tips 1.

While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: How Animals Stay Warm Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Animal ways to stay warm in cold places Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): H What This Book Teaches Best Animals must stay warm to live in places with snow and ice. Body coverings can help animals stay warm (thick fur and feathers that trap heat). Some animals use body fat for warmth (blubber acts like a “warm blanket” and keeps cold water from reaching the body). Animals can use behaviors to stay warm (penguins huddle close and share body heat; some animals go underground; some sit in the sun). Learning Goals Explain why animals must stay warm to live in snow and ice. Describe how thick fur helps keep warm air near an animal’s skin. Describe how blubber helps animals stay warm, including in icy water. Describe how feathers help birds stay warm by trapping heat. Identify actions animals take to stay warm (huddling, going into a burrow, sitting in the sun). Key Vocabulary From the Text arctic — very cold, snowy place. blubber — thick fat under skin that helps keep warm. feathers — soft bird covering that helps trap heat. huddle — stand very close together in a group. burrow — a deep hole an animal digs to go underground. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What are some ways animals might stay warm when it is very cold? Comprehension questions: Why must animals stay warm to live in snow and ice? Comprehension questions: How does blubber help a seal swim in the icy ocean? Comprehension questions: What do penguins do in a group to stay warm? Printing Tips 1.

Backyard Bugs Audio Book
Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Read Alouds, Activities
Let’s explore the wonderful world of bugs and learn more about what makes an “insect” an “insect!” Songs and stories encourage young entomologists to learn about the fascinating life of honeybees. Did you know that the queen bee has only one job to do? This magnificent insect lays all the eggs, while the worker bees tend to her every need. Kids will learn about the dramatic change a butterfly goes through during its life cycle called metamorphosis—which means to change form. Finally, inquisitive minds will find out that “true bugs” belong to a special class of insects because they have sucking mouth parts and only go through three stages before developing into an adult.
