Lesson: The first day I will introduce the book. I will ask the students, “where is the cover page?” Where is the title? “I will then read off the title, authors name, and illustrator. I will ask “where is the back of the book?” I will then have the students get into small groups and discuss what the story may be about.

We will all come together as a class and I will start reading. Before I do I will ask my students where I should start reading. I will ask them where the first word is and if I should start reading from the left or from the right. I will start reading the book and stop when I feel like I should ask an important question about the story. “What do you think will happen next?” “What is Pete the Cat’s color shoes now?” “Will Pete the Cat cry?”

After reading the book we will go over it as a class to make sure all the students understood. Then they will be able to draw their favorite part of the story onto a paper using markers.
