What this lesson teaches

When we read fact books together, we listen and share what we learn.

Worked examples

Example 1

While reading about the moon, everyone can point up and say 'moon!'

Example 2

While reading about bees, everyone can buzz softly when the book says the bees fly.

Example 3

Asking a question during the reading is welcome. 'Wait — why do they do that?' is exactly the right thing to say.

Practice questions

  1. Listen as a fact book is read.
  2. Share one thing you learned.
  3. Ask a question about the topic.

Aprender Juntos

Cuando leemos libros de datos juntos, escuchamos y compartimos lo que aprendemos.

Ejemplo 1: Mientras leemos sobre la luna, todos pueden señalar hacia arriba y decir '¡luna!'

Ejemplo 2: Mientras leemos sobre las abejas, todos pueden zumbar bajito cuando el libro dice que las abejas vuelan.

Ejemplo 3: Preguntar durante la lectura está bien. 'Espera, ¿por qué hacen eso?' es justo lo correcto que decir.
