Introduce the Focus Skill: Medial Sounds Explain to the class that
words usually have a different sound or syllable in the middle. Ex: chiquita,
playita, sillita have the middle sounds /ki/ and /yi/. Turn to p. 23. Point out
the words tarántula, atraganta, and garganta. Tell children that these words have
the /ran/ and /gan/ sounds in the middle. Then say the words aloud. Tell
children to listen for the middle syllable and clap when you say it. Turn to p.
25. Have children find words with the /sie/, /rie/, and /pie/ medial sounds
(murciélago, andariego, archipiélago).
Acquire New Vocabulary Point out the bold-faced animal names in the book. Write them on the board. Distribute index
cards and pencils to the class. Tell children to pick an animal and write it on an index card. Then have them write three words or
phrases on the back that describe the animal. For example, for cabra: blanca, come hierba, tiene cuernos. If children have difficulty thinking
of words or phrases to describe their animal, tell them to copy describing words from the book and/or to use picture clues. Then have
partners play “Guess the Animal.” One child will read his/her description and the other partner will guess the animal.
Read and Respond Display the book. Read the title and author name aloud as you track the print. Tell the class that they are
going to read aloud with you. After reading each page, challenge a volunteer to say the tongue-twister as quickly as possible. Turn to
p. 12. Ask a volunteer to guess the animal on the page (jirafa). Then turn to p. 28. Have another volunteer guess the animal (león).
Discuss animal traits and behavior as a class.
