S: Summarize the Book Restate the purpose of the read “We just read about _________________________________.”
“Let’s look back at (show previous illustrations and pair with target vocabulary)” “We just read about a little girl and everything that she did while she was at the beach. Let’s look back and see all of the little girl’s adventures!”
Encourage children to point to pictures that show meaning of key words or, if they are talking, to use
key vocabulary to name pictures.
Ask simple questions about events, characters’ actions or feelings:
What questions will you ask children about the events and characters in this book?
o What animals did we see at the beach with the little girl and her mom?” o What did the children build in the sand?”
For older toddlers: what open-ended questions can you ask to promote critical thinking?
o How do you think she was feeling when she laid down on her towel?” o How can you protect yourself from the sun at the beach?”
For older toddlers: what other Tier 2 words (outside the book) can you introduce and reinforce? Prepare Protect Explore
Respond to the child’s answers by promoting language:
o Acknowledge answer or give the answer for infants and young toddlers o Provide supports as the child responds o Model vocabulary and well-formed sentences
Note: Keep in mind it’s most important to model turn-taking in conversation and to model the vocabulary and
language you want the child to use eventually. It is not so important to ask the child to recall specific details.
How will you support children’s language in their answers?
-Recast and build upon answer!
-Scaffold questions
Extend the Book Implement extension activities during other times of the day (e.g., indoor or outdoor play, center time,
small group) and explain how they connect to the book you read.
What will you plan to extend the book to other times of the day and reinforce vocabulary of the book?
