tEaCh thE ISSUE IN SPaNISh Or ENgLISh BEFOrE rEadINg PrE-tEaCh CONCEPtS

Talk about how athletes stay safe.Explain that people who are very good at a sport can become famous for playing it. Ask, What sports stars do you know? What sports do they play? Next, ask, Do you think being a sports star could be a dangerous job? Why or why not? Lead children to see that professional athletes do some pretty dangerous things, but they stay safe by following certain rules. Today, children will get safety tips straight from the stars.

dUrINg rEadINg VOCaBULary/wOrd PartS

Teach about compound words.Write the word lifeguard on the board. Say, This word is a compound word. That means it’s made of two smaller words put together. Ask, What two words make up this compound word? (life, guard) Point out that separating the words gives a clue to the compound’s meaning: a lifeguard is a person who guards (or watches over) your life.

aPPLyINg tExt StrUCtUrESCreate your own safety tips.Invite children to tell any other safety tips they know. Spark ideas by asking questions like What do you do to stay safe at the beach? What rules do you follow at the playground? Write their ideas on the board using the text pattern from the issue. (Examples: Oliver’s tip: Always wear sunscreen; Lucy’s tip: Only go down the slide feetfirst.)

New words: sport, sports starsTell children that sports stars are people who are really good at a particular sport. Explain that it takes a lot of practice to be a sports star. Together with children brainstorm a list of different sports (e.g., basketball, baseball, swimming, skiing, biking, tennis, hockey). Divide children into pairs and invite them to act out one of the sports on the list. Can other children name their sport?

PhONEmIC awarENESS StaNd UP

Focus: short uThe swimmer in this month’s issue is Cullen Jones. Say Cull-en aloud as you clap out two syllables. What sound do children hear in the middle of the first syllable? That’s the short u sound! Have children sit in a circle, and tell them you’re going to say some more words. When they hear the short u sound, they should stand up! Try: summer, buddy, safe, muscles, tips, just, of, stretch, because.

LaNgUagE StrUCtUrE tIPS aNd VErBS

Focus: Action wordsTell children that when people give tips, they share ideas about what other people should do. Explain that tips often start with a verb (e.g., Swim near a lifeguard). Ask children to turn to pages 2 and 4 of this month’s issue. Together, read the four sports stars’ tips aloud. Ask children to circle the verb at the beginning of each tip. Then have children think of their own safety tips!

Sports Stars’ Safety tips Consejos de seguridad de los deportistasOBJECTIVE: Read to learn summer safety tips from star athletes.

STANDARDS: Science: Personal health; Social Studies (NCSS); individual development and identity

Remind children that in Spanish, the letter g can sound hard (as in jugar) or soft (as in gimnasia). Tell them that in English the letter g can sound hard too (as in get). Then write the word gymnast on chart paper. Explain that in English, the letter g sometimes sounds like the letter j —gymnast starts with the same sound as jump!
