Miller.
2. Set a purpose for the reading. Tell the children to look for letter H words and to pay
attention to the sequence of events.
3. Read the book with lots of expression, stopping for comments for the children to make
predictions.
4. Encourage the children to join in on repetitive text and ask questions like the following:
a. Has anyone ever helped their parent or guardian bake bread? Describe that you
need wheat to bake bread
b. Can anyone guess what the Ducks response was? Everyone join in when the other
