Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, helping with unfamiliar words so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

Page 2: Explain that in this book a girl is telling about the favorite foods she grows in her garden.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What do you see? This girl is in her garden. She says: This is my garden. What kind of food might she grow in her garden? Say the word food. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word food? Find the word food and put your fi nger under it.

Page 3: Explain that the pictures in the book have labels to name things. What do you see in this picture? The label says: tomatoes. The girl says: These are tomatoes. Find the word These and put your fi nger under it.

Page 4: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. What is this vegetable? How can you tell from the pictures that carrots grow under the ground?

Now turn back to the beginning and read to fi nd out about favorite foods that can grow in gardens.

Choices for SupportConcepts of PrintHelp children match one spoken to one written word while reading. Have them point under each word as they read.

Phonemic Awareness and Word WorkProvide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities:

• Listening Game Have children listen for words that rhyme. Have children raise their hands if the words rhyme, and keep their hands in their laps if the words do not rhyme. Say pairs of words, for example: grow/snow; food/farm; ground/round, etc.

• Finding Letters Have children recognize letters by name and locate them quickly in words. Use letters from the words in the fi rst two pages of the book, including: this, is, my, garden, some, of, favorite, food, grows, here, these, are, tomatoes, they, on, a, and vine.
