Ideas for reading

Getting started• Ask children if they know about and have seen any animals that wake up at

night time, e.g. bats, hedgehogs, owls.

• Write on the whiteboard the names of animals that the children will be

reading about, e.g. bat, bushbaby, raccoon, coyote. Help them to read

the names.

• Look at the title page together. Ask children to try to identify the animal from

the list on the whiteboard.

• Read the title aloud and discuss why some animals might wake up at night

time and what they do when they wake up.

Reading and responding• Read pp76–77 together. Ask children if this will be a story or an information

book and how they can tell.

• Look at the photograph on p77. Ask children to explain what is happening in

the picture.

• Ask children to continue to read the book with a partner to fi nd out about

each animal that wakes at night.

• Support children to read new words, reminding them to use phonic knowledge

and the pictures.

Returning to the book• Using the images on pp88–89, ask children to identify each creature and

recount what they are doing in the dark and what they need for their activity,

e.g. The raccoon needs long fi ngers to feel in the dark.

• Look at the bushbaby on pp80–81. Ask children why the bushbaby might

run up trees at night, e.g. to keep safe; to fi nd food without being eaten by

another animal.

• Ask children to search the book for a tricky word and model how they used a

range of strategies to read it.

104

Written by Clare Dowdall BA(Ed), MA(Ed) Lecturer and Primary Literacy Consultant


Checking and moving on• Research the animals featured in the book to fi nd out where they are from

and more about their behaviour.

• Introduce the word nocturnal and help children to fi nd out more about

nocturnal animals using the Internet.

• Choose one of the nocturnal animals that have been researched, e.g. the

owl, and make a fact sheet to explain its habits and habitat.

Owls
