Before Reading Activities

Notes to Parents and Teachers:

In Stage 2 of literacy development (confirmation and fluency), a child can typically read simple, familiar stories and selections with increasing fluency. Have children practice reading fluently to support this stage of literacy development. Take turns reading pages with your child or students so you can model what fluent reading sounds like. Ask them to recount story details, such as character names and event sequences.

Before Reading:

Bilingual books help build vocabulary in both languages. As your child or students read, ask them to look for these words and tell you how they are related:

The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. They were curious little pigs and eager to learn more about the big, wide world. One bright summer morning, they packed their bags and set off together.

Érase una vez tres cerditos.Eran unos cerditos curiosos y con muchas ganas de aprender sobre este mundo enorme. Una mañana luminosa de verano, hicieron las maletas y salieron de viaje juntos.

The three little pigs enjoyed being out on their own. They explored new places and made lots of new friends.
