Domain-Related Trade Book

• Refer to the list of recommended trade books in the Introduction, and
  choose a fiction text about a prince and princesses.


• Alternatively, you may wish to choose to read another version of “The
  Princess and the Pea” or another fairy tale with a royalty theme by
  Hans Christian Anderson.


• Explain to students that the person who wrote the book is called the
  author. For example, the author of “The Princess and the Pea” is Hans
  Christian Anderson. Tell students the name of the author of the book.
  Explain 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 or on the title page.


• As you read, use the same strategies that you have been using
  when reading the read-aloud selections—pause and ask occasional
  questions; rapidly clarify critical vocabulary within the context of the
  read-aloud; etc.


• After you finish reading the trade book aloud, lead students in a
  discussion about how the information from the trade book relates to
  what they have learned in the read-alouds.
