Ella the Superstar

12

My baby sister Ella loved books.


Ella read to Dad.

She read, “Wah, wah!”

13


Ella showed her book to Mum.

Mum said, “Read it to me, Ella.”

Ella said, “Num, num!”

14


Ella read to Grandad.

She read, “GRRR, GRRR.”

“Clever girl!” said Grandad.

15


One day, we went for a walk in the park.

A lady looked into the pram and said,

“What a sweet little baby!”

16


Ella said, “I’m a tiger. I will bite your nose!”

17


“I say!” said the lady, and fainted.

18


19


A policeman marched over and looked

into the pram.

He said, “What’s going on here, then?”

20


Ella said, “GRRR! I’m a tiger.

I will bite your nose.”

21


“What a cheek!” said the policeman.

“I’m going to arrest you, baby!”

22


A man was walking his dog.

He said, “You can’t arrest a baby!”

23


The man smiled into the pram.

“Hello, diddums!”

24


Ella said, “GRRR! GRRR! I’m a tiger.

I will bite your nose!”

“Help!” said the man, and he hid

behind the policeman.

25


I said, “You’re all very silly!

My baby sister’s reading.”

I showed them the book.

26


Then Ella read, “Wah, wah.”

She read, “Num, num.”

She read, “GRRR,

GRRR.”

She read, “I’m a tiger.

I will bite your nose!”

27


The lady said, “This baby is a SUPERSTAR!

She could be on TV!”

28


So Ella was the star of her own TV show

and she was in all the newspapers.

She even wrote her own book.

29


That is how Ella got rich.

Now she can drive a car.

Beep, beep!

Learning objectives: re-tell stories, ordering events using story language; make predictions showing an understanding of events, ideas and characters; use syntax and context when reading for meaning; read and spell phonically decodable two-syllable words; interpret a text by reading aloud with some variety in pace and emphasis.

Curriculum links: Citizenship: Choices; People who help us

High frequency words: a, all, can, dad, day, for, going, her, here, his, in, little, it, me, my, mum, now, of, on, one, said, she, sister, so, that, the, the, to, was, what, will, went

Interest words: superstar, tiger, fainted, policeman, arrest, diddums, gripping

Resources: drawing materials

Getting started• Look at the cover together. Read the words and discuss what a

superstar is. Can the children think of any superstars that they know?

• Ask the children to predict what makes Ella a superbaby. Discuss what

superbabies might be able to do.

• Look carefully at the picture on the cover and see if the children notice

that Ella is reading. Read the title of the book together.

• Look carefully at the word superstar. Using magnetic letters, show children

how the words can be broken into two smaller words. Can children think of

other words like superstar? (superwoman, supermarket). List the children’s

suggestions on a whiteboard.

Reading and responding• Read the story together up to p17. Practise using context to establish

meaning.

• Reread the story fluently to p17, modelling using different voices to enhance

expression. Encourage the children to join in and suggest voices.

• Establish that one of Ella’s talents is that she can talk. Ask the children to

predict what is going to happen next.

• Continue reading the story together to the end. Each time that Ella speaks,

ask the children to predict what the person in the story (policeman, man and dog) will do.

Ideas for reading


Returning to the book• Using pp32–33, ask the children to describe Ella’s super talents (TV star, talking, driving, reading, author)

• In pairs, ask the children to skim through the story looking for evidence of

her special talents.

• Re-read the whole story together using appropriate expression and voices.

• Ask the children to retell the story to each other in pairs, using voices to

enhance their re-telling. Listen in and praise good expression.

• Discuss what it would be like to have a brother or sister with superpowers.

Would it be a good or a bad thing?

Checking and moving on• Ask the children to draw a superbaby doing something amazing, and label

the picture.

• In pairs, ask the children to create and retell a story about when their two

superbabies met.

Flying superbaby
