Build BackgroundRead the title and author with children and talk about what is happening in the cover illustration. Encourage children to use their knowledge of earning money to think about the story. Ask questions such as the following: Have you ever sold food, such as lemonade or cookies at a homemade stand? What happened? What did you do with the money you earned?

Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so that they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

: Explain that at the beginning of this story Amari and her brother Leo are playing soccer. Suggested language: Turn to page 2. Look at the picture. What happens to the soccer ball? What do you think Amari and Leo will do next? How do you think they feel?

Page 3: Turn to page 3. Amari and Leo don’t have enough money to buy a new soccer ball, so they need a plan. Amari has an idea: A lemonade stand! Do you think Amari has a good plan?

Page 4: Ask children to look carefully at the picture on page 4. Where are Amari and Leo in the picture? What are they thinking about? How can you tell?

Page 6: Turn to page 6. Remember that the pictures can help you understand the story. Leo and Amari made a batch of lemonade to sell at their stand. They mixed together all the ingredients in a pitcher. What ingredients did Leo and Amari add to their batch of lemonade? Find the pitcher in the picture.

Phonics and Word WorkProvide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities:

• Build Sentences Materials: books, index cards, sentence strips. Have children fi nd pictures of six words in their books and write each word on an index card. Then have them write sentences using the words. Call on volunteers to read their sentences aloud.

Ask children to pick an index card, read the word, and identify the two smaller words that make up the compound. Talk with children about how the parts are related to the meaning. Invite pairs of children to use each compound in an original sentence and read it aloud to the group.

Target Comprehension SkillCause and Effect

Target Comprehension Skill Remind children that the effect tells what happened in a

story. The cause tells why it happened. Model how to think about cause and effect.

Think Aloud

On page 9, I read that Amari and Leo added shaved lemon peel to their lemonade. Then it tasted just right – not too sour or too sweet. Adding the shaved lemon peel was the cause. The effect was lemonade that tasted just right.
