Introducing the Read-Aloud 15 minutes

Story Review

• Ask students, “‘Is Chicken Little’ fiction?”
  
  
  • “Chicken Little” is fiction.
  
  
  
  


• Remind students that stories are often created from people’s
  imaginations; they are not real. Tell students that many times the
  stories are make-believe and fantasy with a little bit of reality, or
  something that is true. Explain that such made-up stories are called
  fiction.


• Ask students, “Which characters from ‘Chicken Little’ do you
  remember?” Call on a few students to answer until all the characters
  have been mentioned.


• Remind students that a character in a story is who the story is about.


• Now tell students that all stories have a plot.


• Have students say plot with you three times.


• Explain to students that the plot is what happens in a story—the
  beginning, middle, and end of a story.

Introducing “The Three Little Pigs”

Picture Walk

• Tell students that the next story they will hear is called “The Three
  Little Pigs.”


• Tell students that you will take a picture walk through this story
  together. Explain that a picture walk is when they look at the pictures
  from the story to become familiar with the story, see the characters of
  the story, and make predictions about what might happen in the story.


• Tell students that these pictures were drawn by someone—that
  person is called the illustrator.


• Tell students that this story was written by someone—that person is
  called the author.
