Animal Talk by Jack Wilkins

Build BackgroundRead the title to the children and talk with them about the animal in the cover illustration. Help children use their knowledge of animals, asking questions such as the following: What do you think the title means? How do animals “talk” to each other? What animal sounds do you know?

Introduce the TextGuide children through the text helping with unfamiliar words so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

: Explain that this book is called Animal Talk because the author asks the reader to tell about the sounds different animals make.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What do you see in the photo? Yes, it’s a lion and he is making a loud sound! So the author says: Tell how a lion sounds. Say how. What letter would you see fi rst in how? Find how and put your fi nger under it as you say the word. Now tell how a lion sounds. Let me hear you roar like this lion!

Page 3: On each page, the author asks you to tell how the animal in the photo sounds. What is the animal on this page? Yes, this is a very big bear! Now let me hear the sound a bear can make. A bear this big would be very loud!

Page 8: What animal is this? The author says: Tell a sound this animal can make. Can you tell me what sound this tiny kitten is making?

Now turn back to the beginning of the book and read to fi nd out about all the noisy animals.

Words to KnowHave children turn to the Words to Know at the back of the book. Read each word aloud and then together. Explain any unknown words. Tell children to look for these words as they read.
