Preview and Predict

Point to and read the title and the names of the author and illustrator. Ask:
What sounds might you hear on a farm? Preview each illustration and
identify the rebus picture. Ask: What do you think this book will be about?

Review Genre: Fiction

Remind children that fiction stories have made-up characters and events.
Ask: Where does this story take place? (on a farm) Who are the
characters? (two girls)

Model Concepts of Print

Hold up the book and open it to pages 2–3. Ask: When I read a book, I
have to know where to start. Can anyone tell me where I should start to
read these words on these pages? Have a child volunteer trace his or her
finger over the text in the order it should be read—from the left page to the
right page, from top to bottom.

Review High-Frequency Words

Point out the word and on page 2. Have children go through the rest of the
book and point to the word and on each page.

Essential Question
Set a purpose for reading: What sounds do you think you would hear on a
farm? Let’s read the book to find out.

CLASS PRESENTATION ROUTINE

Farm Sounds
Farm Sounds

Select Farm Sounds.

Before and during reading, children can highlight the target High
Frequency Word and point to illustrations in the eBook that relate to
your group discussion.
After reading, invite children to use the highlighting tool to indicate
their responses to the story. Children can then complete the literacy
activities on the inside back cover online and save their work.
At a computer workstation, children can independently listen to the
audio of the eBook.

DURING READING

Guided Comprehension
As children whisper-read Farm Sounds, monitor and provide guidance by
correcting blending and modeling the strategy and skill.

Strategy: Visualize
Remind children that as they read they can make pictures in their mind of
what is happening in the story.

Skill: Key Details

Remind children that they cannot know every detail about a story just by
reading the text. They must also look at the illustrations to learn about key
details in the story. After reading, ask: What details about the story did you
learn from the pictures?

Think Aloud By looking at the pictures in the book, I can tell what the
farm looks like and what things on the farm make noises. I can see the
girls listening by putting their hands to their ears. This helps me
understand what the characters are doing.

Guide children to use the illustrations to help name the animals that the
girls can hear on the farm. Explain that each of the animals they name is a
key detail that helps them understand the story.

AFTER READING

Respond to Reading
What are the names of the characters in the story? (Nan and Lin)
What sounds on the farm are not made by animals? (the trucks and
bells)
What do you think the trucks do on the farm? (Possible answer: They
deliver things to and from the farm.)
Why are there bells in the story? (The girls are being called to
dinner.)

Retell
Have children take turns retelling the story. Help them make personal
connections by asking: Have you ever been to a farm? What sounds did
you hear?

Model Fluency
Read the sentences one at a time and have children chorally repeat.
Emphasize the last word of each sentence to point out the importance of
each sound that Nan and Lin hear.
 Apply
Have children practice reading with partners. Encourage them to
emphasize the last word in each sentence.
