Bug Parts by Aksel James

Build BackgroundRead the title to children. Have them discuss what it might mean. Ask children to tell what kind of bug, or insect, the girl is looking at in the cover illustration. Point out that the girl is looking at a big poster of a butterfl y, not a real butterfl y. Then ask: What parts on the butterfl y could the girl be looking at? What body parts have you seen on bugs?

Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, noting important ideas and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Point out the repeated sentence pattern This bug has. Here are some suggestions:

: Tell children that on each page of this book, a child looks at a poster of a different bug and tells about a part of its body. Explain that the pictures in the book have labels to name different parts on different bugs. Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What is the boy looking at? The boy says: This bug has legs. Have you ever seen a bug like this one? It’s called a centipede. Now say this. This begins with the letters th. Find this, put your fi nger under it, and say it.

Page 3: Turn to page 3. What kind of bug is this? That’s right, it’s a butterfl y. Point to the label for the butterfl y’s wings and say wings. What will the girl say that this bug has? She says: This bug has wings.

Page 5: Have you ever seen a bug like the one on page 5? This bug is a grasshopper. What will the girl say on this page? She says: This bug has a mouth. Put your fi nger under the word a and say it.

Now turn back to the beginning and read to fi nd out what each child says about a bug part.

Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text

• Each child looks at a part of a different bug.

• A bug can have legs, wings, eyes, a mouth, and a light.

• Bugs come in many different shapes.

• A bug uses its legs to crawl, its wings to fl y, its eyes to see, and its mouth to eat.

• A light on a bug is unusual.

• The author wants to show that children like to learn about bugs.

• The pictures help us see the tiny parts of a bug’s body.

• The picture labels are also words in the sentences.

Choices for SupportConcepts of PrintHave children point to the uppercase letter that begins each sentence and the period that ends it. Remind children that the exclamation point on page 6 means that they should say the sentence with strong feeling.

Phonemic Awareness and Word WorkProvide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities:

• Listening Game Have children listen for words that rhyme with bug. Say bug and another word. Have children raise their hands only if the two words rhyme. Example words: sting, bunch, rug, tug, big, gull, bun, chug, back.

• Initial Sound and Letter Have children fi nd the words legs, wings, and mouth in the picture labels in Bug Parts. Have them name the letter that begins each word and say more words that begin with that sound and letter.
