to students that the person who makes the pictures for the book is
called the illustrator. Tell students the name of the illustrator. Show
students where they can find this information on the cover of the book

when reading the read-aloud selections—pause and ask occasional

read-aloud; etc. - After you finish reading the trade book aloud, lead students in a
discussion about how the information for the trade book or nursery
rhymes relates to what they have learned in the read-alouds.
