Chapter 1 (pages 2–3)
Phonics Say the word chalk. Have children listen for the variant vowel /ô/. Explain that /ô/ can be spelled different ways. Have children find a word on page 3 with /ô/ spelled al.
Structural Analysis Remind children that some vowels work in teams. Vowel teams such as ea, oo, and ou always stay together in a syllable. They are a team and cannot be split up. This can help children know how to pronounce unknown words. Have children find words on pages 2 and 3 with vowel team syllables.
Comprehension Check How do you think the girl feels about her mother? How do you know?
