Friends by Erika Rice

Build BackgroundEncourage children to talk about their friends—who they are, how they met, what they do. Then read the book title and talk about what these friends are doing in the cover photos. Prompt predictions by asking: What do you think you might you learn about friends in this book? Tell children that this book is informational text, so the words and photos will give facts about the topic.

Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

: Explain that this book tells about different kinds of friends and what they do together. Suggested language: Turn to page 2. The section heading says: Making Friends. In this part of the book, you will read about ways to make friends. What do you think are some good ways to make friends?

Page 4: Call attention to the picture. These friends met by sharing. What are they sharing in the photo? How can sharing help you make a new friend?

Page 5: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. What can you tell about these friends from looking at the photo? How can you help a friend who feels sad or afraid?

Page 8: Sometimes friends have to say goodbye. If you had to go to a new school, how would you feel about saying goodbye to a good friend?

Page 9: Have children look at the photos. How can a telephone help friends who live in different places feel connected?

Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out more about friends and what they do.

Choices for SupportFluencyHave partners choose a page to read out loud that tells about two friends. Have them act out the text. Remind children to pay attention to action words when they read so they know what to act out.

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

• Clapping Syllables Have children hear and say syllables in words from the book: problem, summer, winter, together, different. Have them clap on each syllable: prob-lem, sum-mer, win-ter, to-geth-er, dif-fer-ent.

• How Many Words? Read a sentence from the book, without showing the text: Friends can do things together. Have children say the sentence with you slowly and hold up one fi nger for each word they hear. Ask: How many words are in the sentence? Continue with other sentences.
