How Animals Moveby Ann Takman

Fountas-Pinnell Level JInformational TextSelection SummarySome baby animals, such as a giraffe or a whale calf, can move like their parents soon after they are born. Other animal babies, such as baby birds, lion cubs, and kangaroo joeys, need time and care before they are ready to move like their parents. Still other animal babies, such as tadpoles and caterpillars, look different from their parents and move differently, too.

How Animals Move by Ann Takman

Build BackgroundHave children read the title with you. Discuss the cover illustration. Anticipate the text with questions like these: How do adult kangaroos move? Now look at the baby in the kangaroo’s pouch. Does the baby move the same way? Why do you think that?

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

: Tell children that this book gives information about how baby animals move.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. The author says: Some animals swim or run. Others hop, jump, leap, or fl y. What animals are in this photo? How do you think they move? What are some animals that leap?

Page 3: Do you think the baby birds can fl y yet? Why do you think that? How is the mother bird helping the babies?

Page 4: Why do you think the mother whale stays so close to her baby? If she is next to her baby, the baby will be safe. She wants her baby to survive. She keeps her baby away from danger. What do all baby animals need to survive?

Pages 8–9: Prepare children for the concepts on these pages by drawing children’s attention to each heading. Which word names the baby animal? Which word names the adult?

Now turn back to the beginning of the book and read to fi nd out how baby animals move and change.

can fi gure out more ideas. Model using details to draw a conclusion:

Think Aloud

This book shows a baby kangaroo riding in its mother’s pouch, baby opossums riding on their mother’s back, and a baby lion being carried in its mother’s mouth. Those three details help me fi gure out that mother animals have different ways of carrying their babies.
