Read the title and help your students to connect it to their experiences. For example: The title of this story is At the Amusement Park. Have you ever been to an amusement park? What did you see there? What did you do? 2. Preview the story with the readers. Look first at the words presented in the Story Dictionary. Who can use the Story Dictionary to read the new words from the story? Then page through the story together. Have the readers look at the illustrations and predict what they think is happening on the pages. Listen closely to the vocabulary used. Suggest words and phrases that are used in the story vocabulary that might be unfamiliar to the readers. (See page 3 for a list of words and phrases for each story in this book.) If you went to an amusement park, what would you see? Yes, you would see rides like roller coasters, ticket windows, crowds, and loudspeakers. You may want to write the words as you talk about them, or ask the readers to locate the words on a specific page. Can you find the words dark tunnels on this page? 1999 by Evan-Moor Corp. 2 More Read and Understand Grade 1 EMC 745
