Monday
When you are reading informational text, you should pay close attention to the illustrations and photographs on each page. Everything on a page helps the reader get an even better understanding of the topic.
Illustrations and photographs help readers visualize (see) what the author is describing or explaining through the words they write.
Let’s practice. We will learn that lungfish live in water during the rainy season. I can see and learn that lungfish live in water in the part of the photograph that I circled.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you read the two informational texts this week, remember to stop and analyze the photographs or illustrations to help you understand what the author is trying to tell or teach you.
