Just like your other senses, your sense of touch is always ready to
work. You probably don’t even think about most of the things you
touch or feel during the day. But your nerves are always paying
attention, and they will let you know if something hurts, tickles, or
itches.[Have students act out the gestures for hurt, tickle, and itch.]
Now tell your partner one thing that hurts, tickles, and itches.[Allow forty-five seconds for students to talk. Call on two partner pairs to share
their answers.]Discussing the Read-Aloud 10 minutes
Comprehension Questions
If students have difficulty responding to questions, reread pertinent lines
of the read-aloud and/or refer to specific images. If students give one-
word answers and/or fail to use read-aloud or domain vocabulary in their
responses, acknowledge correct responses by expanding the students’
responses using richer and more complex language. To the extent that
they are able, ask students to answer in complete sentences, even short
sentences. Model answers using complete sentences for students.
