Comprehension & Extension:
• Summarize:
What is a habitat? How would you describe some different habitats?
• TexttoSelfConnection:
Where do you live? What do you need to survive in your habitat?
• Extension:
Think about water and land habitats. Make a Venn diagram to show how the two habitats are alike and how they are different.
Teaching Focus:
Phonics:
Phonemic Decoding
Look at the words turtle
andthey. How are they
alike? How are they
different? Look in the
book and find more
words that begin like
turtle and they.
