Vanessa Black - Heat Waves

Pogo Books let children practice
reading informational text while
introducing them to nonfiction
features such as headings, labels,
sidebars, maps, and diagrams,
as well as a table of contents,
glossary, and index. Carefully leveled text with
a strong photo match offers
early fluent readers the support
they need to succeed. Walk through the book and
point out the various nonfiction
features. Ask the student what
purpose each feature serves. Look at the glossary together.
Read and discuss the words. Have the child read the book
independently.

Invite him or her to list questions
that arise from reading.

Discuss the childs questions.
Talk about how he or she might
find answers to those questions. Prompt the child to think
more. Ask: Have you ever
been somewhere a heat
wave might occur? Pogo Books are published by Jump!

Imagine you live in the city.
It is July. You are in the shade,
but you are dripping sweat. 4 CHAPTER 1 The air is thick and very hot. If you
were to touch metal, you would burn
your hand. It has been this way for
three days.

Its a heat wave! CHAPTER 1

Rain would cool the air.
But there are no clouds.
The sun beats down. City roads store heat.
Air conditioners run
all the time. Even at
night, it stays hot. DID YOU KNOW? A heat wave is when the
temperature is unusually
hot for three or more days. CHAPTER 1 In the country, heat waves dry up
ponds and lakes. Wells dry up.
Long heat waves cause droughts .
Crops die.

Animals do not have
food or water. Many die. 8 CHAPTER 1
