Learning & Teaching Sequences for Reading – Non-Fiction Level 1-2
Penguin Rescue
Sample text: Penguin Rescue
(Katy Pike, Go Facts series, Blake Education)
Penguin Rescue describes a topic that would be unfamiliar to students at this level, although some of the events and experiences may be known to some readers. The written language in the text is predictable but has unfamiliar vocabulary and accompanying illustrations.
The set of teaching activities that follow uses both the Big Book version of the story and the set of small books for individual student use. The Big Book is used to model, guide and scaffold reading activities that students can practise applying to their texts.
