First Day of Second Grade by Eric Mancilla
Build BackgroundRead the title to children and ask them how the character in the cover illustration might feel about second grade. Encourage children to use their knowledge of starting something new to think about the story. Anticipate the text with questions such as these: How do you feel when you start something new? Do you feel ready for second grade?
Front-Load Vocabulary Some everyday words may be unfamiliar to English learners. Before reading, check understanding of the following words: fi rst, wrong, hard, different, city.
Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Call their attention to any labels. Here are some suggestions:
Page 2: Explain that this story is about best friends who are about to start second grade. Explain that the pictures in this book have labels that name characters and things. Suggested language: Turn to page 2 and look at the picture. Find the labels that say: Juan and Brooke. Find the labels that say: bus and bus stop. The two children are waiting for the bus at the bus stop. It’s the fi rst day of school. How do you think they may feel on the fi rst day of school?
Page 5: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. Turn to page 5. Juan and Brooke are worried about their new teacher. When the boy behind them in the bus says he can tell them about their teacher, Brooke says: “Oh, please tell me.” Say the word please. What sound do you hear at the beginning of please? What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word please? Find the word please and put your fi nger under it. Use the label to learn the boy’s name.
Page 8: On page 8, you see a picture of Jeff. He and his family came from a different city. Find the words family and city and put your fi nger under each word.
Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out what happens on the fi rst day of second grade.

Choices for SupportFluencyInvite children to choose a passage from the text to read aloud. Remind them to use punctuation to help them read with appropriate phrasing and intonation.
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 begin with the same sound. Have
children raise their hands if the words begin with the same sound, and keep their hands in their laps if the beginning letter is different. Say pairs of words from the story such as: buy/bus; party/please; family/homework; hope/homework.
• Build Sentences Materials: books, index cards, sentence strips. Write the high-frequency words on index cards: buy, city, family, myself, party, please, school, and seven. Next have children fi nd words in books and write each word on an index card. Then have them build sentences using the words.
