Procedures:
===TTW display the book "Building with Dad." TTW introduce the front and back covers of the book and the title page. TT&SW do a picture preview of the story. TTW flip a few pages and have the children explain that this book is different from other books because the pages turn from top to bottom rather than from side to side. TTW explain that even though the book pages flip differently we will still read it from left to right, top to bottom and page by page. TTW explain that listed on the title page of every book is the author, who writes the book and an illustrator who creates the pictures for the book. TTW continue to flip through the pages and discuss student predictions about what the story is going to be about. TTW point out that the predictions were based on the pictures which will be tied to the text. TTW tell the students that the book was written by Carol Nevius and illustrated by Bill Thomson. TTW read page 3 of the story using a pointer to model reading from left to right and top to bottom. TTW ask the students who is telling the story and how they know. (the boy - I know because I used the picture). The teacher will ask who else is on the page. The student should say the dad because the words said the dad on page 3. TT&SW discuss what the words site and construction mean and how they know or can figure it out using clue words. TT&SW continue reading and discussing the story. TT&SW discuss the meaning of the word waterproof on page 18. TSW orally summarize what happened in the story when the teacher finishes reading it.===
