Read Leveled Reader E-Pals
E-PalsREINFORCE CONCEPTS This week's concept is selling food. Food is sold in different ways in different cultures. The cost of food determines whether a person is willing to purchase it.
BEFORE READING Using the Picture Walk Routine on p. DI•1, guide students through the text focusing on key concepts and vocabulary. Ask questions such as:
p. 3 This story is about two friends who live far away from each other. They e-mail each other to stay in touch. What do you see in the package? (a toy giraffe)
pp. 8–9 These two pages show different types of activities. Why do you think there are different activities shown? (The pictures show us what the two friends are doing where they live.)
Read pp. 4–5 aloud. Then do a choral reading of pp. 6–9. Have students read and discuss the remainder of the book with a partner. Ask: What do Molly and Juma write about in their e-mails? (They write about what they do in their culture.)
