by Judy K. Ferrell Build Background Read the title to children and have them point to the pigs in the cover illustration. Encourage them to tell what the pigs are doing. Ask children why they think the pigs look happy. To prepare for reading, ask: What kinds of things do you like to do? What might the pigs like to do? Introduce the Text Guide children through the text, noting important ideas and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary. Also explain important text features, such as the repetition of the sentence pattern: The pigs like. They like to. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that in this story three pigs do things they like to do. Tell children that the pictures in the book have labels to name animals and things. Point to the labels in the illustration and read them. Suggested language: Turn to page 2. Look at the picture. What are the pigs doing here? They are riding their bikes! The fi rst sentence reads: The pigs like bikes. Say the word like. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in like? Find the word like in the fi rst sentence and put your fi nger under it. Page 3: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. Turn to page 3 and look at the pigs. What are they doing? Yes, they are playing a baseball game. The book says: They like to play. Say the word play. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in play? Find the word play in the second sentence and put your fi nger under it. Page 4: Now on page 4 you can see the pigs fl ying kites. So what will the book say? How do the pigs feel about this activity? How can you tell from the picture? Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out all the things the pigs like and like to do. Words to Know fly like play they to water 2 Lesson 6:
Read Now have children read softly while pointing under each word. Observe children as they read. Respond to the Text Personal Response Invite children to share their personal responses to the story. Begin by asking what they liked best about the story, or to compare their own likes to those of the pigs. Suggested language: Which of the things that the pigs like do you also like? Why? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, make sure children understand these teaching points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text The pigs like bikes, games, kites, books, apples, trees, water, mud, and beds. The pigs like to ride, play, fly, read, eat, climb, swim, and splash. The pigs like to do many things, but they love to sleep. People can like many objects and activities, but have something that they love to do. When you say you love something, you mean that it is one of your favorite things. The story is funny because the pigs do things that people like to do, such as read and swim. The pictures and labels show what the pigs like. The writer uses almost the same sentences on each page, but changes the name of the thing the pigs like and what the pigs like to do. The last page is different because the writer tells what the pigs love to do: sleep. 2006. Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Support Concepts of Print Have children point to the first word and last word in each sentence on page 9 of The Pigs. Then have children point to the end mark for each sentence. Identify the period and exclamation point, and explain what they signal. Phonemic Awareness and Word Work Provide 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. Tell children to raise their hands if the words begin with the same sound, and keep their hands in their laps if the beginning sound is different. Say pairs of words, emphasizing each beginning sound, such as: bike, bed; like, love; climb, fl y; swim, sleep; tree, play. Write-and-Read Words Game Materials: magnetic or cardboard letters, or letter cards. Say a CVC word, such as pig, bed, or mud. Have children choose letters to spell the word. Then have children read the word aloud. Repeat for other CVC words. 3 Lesson 6:
Writing About Reading Critical Thinking Read the directions for children on BLM 6.6 and guide them in answering the questions. Responding Read aloud the questions at the back of the book and help children complete the activities. Target Comprehension on Skill Understanding Characters Tell children that they can understand characters by thinking about what they like to do. Children can use these details and other information from the story together with what they know about real life to figure out what the characters are like. Model how to use details to understand characters: Think Aloud I can learn about the pigs by thinking about what they like to do. One thing they like to do is to ride bikes. They like to play games, too. The pigs like to fly kites and read books. They like to eat apples and climb trees. They like a lot of things! Practice the Skill Have children share other examples of what the pigs like to do and what it shows about them. Writing Prompt Read aloud the following prompt. Have children draw and write their response, using the writing prompt on page 6. Draw a picture of something both you and the pigs like to do. Write about why you like to do it. 4 Lesson 6:
