Butterflies by Darrel Claxton

Build BackgroundRead the title to children and talk with them about butterfl ies. Ask them to describe butterfl ies they have seen. Encourage children to use their knowledge of butterfl ies to think about the book. Ask questions such as the following: How are all butterfl ies alike? How are butterfl ies different?

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

: Explain that this book gives facts about butterfl ies.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What do you see in the photo? The photo shows some of the many different kinds of butterfl ies. What kind of butterfl y do you like?

Page 3: Look at the photo of the butterfl y. Have you ever seen a butterfl y like this one? The fi rst sentence reads: No other butterfl y looks anything like this one. Find the word anything on the page. The word anything is made up of two smaller words, any and thing. You can use the smaller words to help you fi gure out the meaning of the longer word. In the photo, you can see the butterfl y land upon a red fl ower.

Page 6: Turn to page 6. This butterfl y lives in a rain forest. Rain forests are warm, wet places that get a lot of rain. Do you think all butterfl ies live in warm places? Have you ever seen a butterfl y in the cold winter?

Pages 8–9: Look at the photos. The butterfl y on page 8 has spots on its wings to scare its enemies away. The butterfl y on page 9 also has spots on its wings. Do you think the spots also look like eyes?

Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out about some of the many different kinds of butterfl ies.

Words to KnowHave children turn to the Words to Know at the back of the book. Read each word aloud and then together. Explain any unknown words. Tell children to look for these words as they read.

Choices for SupportConcepts of PrintHave children match one spoken word to one written word while reading the book.

Phonemic Awareness and Word WorkProvide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities:

• Matching Game Materials: index cards. On individual index cards, write pairs of words with vowel digraphs, such as woods-looks, rain-wait, sleep-seen. Remind children that when two vowel letters come together, they usually stand for one vowel sound. Spread out the cards face down in random order, and let two children use them to play Concentration. Children take turns turning over two cards to fi nd a match. Unmatched cards are placed back face down. The object is to match words with the same vowel digraph.

• Clapping Syllables Have children hear and say syllables in words from the book, such as butterfl ies, anything, zebra, enemies. Have them clap on each syllable: but-ter-fl ies, an-y-thing, ze-bra, en-e-mies.



Writing About ReadingVocabulary PracticeRead the directions and have children complete the Vocabulary questions on BLM 24.1.

RespondingHave children complete the vocabulary activities on page 11.

Building VocabularyDescribing WordsBuild on the adjectives in Butterfl ies. Suggested language: Let’s think about words that describe things. The biggest butterfl y lives in warm, wet places in the rain forest. Biggest describes the butterfl y. Warm and wet describe places in the rain forest. Let’s look at the photos of butterfl ies in the book and think of words to describe them. As children suggest adjectives, write their words and sentences on the board or on a long strip of paper. Begin the list with the sentence frame I see a ____ butterfl y.

(Possible suggestions: long, thin, fuzzy, pretty, green, striped.)

After children have made their suggestions, read the list aloud together, pointing to each word. Look at all the ways to describe butterfl ies!
