Cari Meister - Sharks

Bullfrog Books let children practice
reading informational text at the
earliest reading levels. Repetition,
familiar words, and photo labels
support early readers. Ask the child to think about
sharks. Ask: What do you know
about sharks? Look at the picture glossary
together. Read and discuss the
words. Read the book to the child, or have
him or her read independently.

Point out the photo labels to
reinforce new vocabulary as
you read.

Prompt the child to think more. Ask:
Which types of shark do you like
the best? Why? Bullfrog Books are published by Jump! 5357 Penn Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55419 www.jumplibrary.com Copyright 2014 Jump! International copyright
