Words to Know
A nadar
by Rebecca Fox
Build Background
Read the title to children and talk with them about what they see in the cover photo. Ask them if they know how to swim. Then ask: ¿Cuáles son algunos de los animales que
pueden nadar?
Introduce the Text
Guide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary. Explain important text features, such as the repetition of the phrase Los_____ nadan. Here are some suggestions:
Page 2: Explain that this book tells about animals that can swim; it is narrated by the girl in the cover photograph.
Suggested language: Vayan a la página 2. ¿Qué ven? ¡Sí! Son dos peces
amarillos. La niña dice: Son peces. Digan la palabra Son. Encuentren la palabra
Son y pongan su dedo debajo de ella. Pueden ver que Son empieza con S
mayúscula porque está al principio. La niña también dice: Nadan en el agua. Digan la palabra en. Encuentren la palabra en y pongan su dedo debajo de ella. Pueden ver que en no lleva n mayúscula porque no está al principio.
Page 3: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. Vayan a la página 3. ¿Qué ven aquí? Es un pato con cuatro patitos. ¿Qué
creen que dirá la niña ahora?
Page 4: ¿Qué animales pueden nadar aquí? ¿Qué dirá la niña ahora?
Page 6: Ahora, vayan a la página 6. ¿Quién puede nadar ahora? ¡Sí! Es la niña que
cuenta la historia. Entonces, la niña dice: ¡Y yo también! ¿Creen que a la niña le gusta nadar? ¿Cómo lo saben?
Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo para descubrir sobre todas las cosas que pueden nadar.

Choices for Support
Concepts of Print
Help children match one spoken to one written word while reading and pointing.
Phonemic Awareness and Word Work
Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities: • Listening Game Have children listen for words that rhyme. Have children raise their
hands if the words rhyme, and keep their hands in their laps if the words do not rhyme. Say pairs of words, for example: pez and soy, pez and vez, patos and gatos,
focas and ecos, focas and bocas, ballenas and cadenas, etc.
• Tracing Letters Materials: magnetic or cardboard letters or letter cards. Have children choose a letter, say its name, and trace the letter.
• Build Sentences Materials: index cards. Write the repeated words from A nadar on index cards: Los, las, nadan, nado, el, en. Then write the content words on index cards: peces, patos, focas, ballenas, yo, mar. Have children build sentences using the word cards. Have them read the sentences and illustrate them if they wish.

La autora dice que los peces, los patos, las focas y las ballenas pueden nadar. Luego, la autora muestra a la niña que dice en la página 6: ¡Y yo
también! Creo que la autora quiere que los lectores sepan que muchos
animales pueden nadar, y las personas también.
Practice the Skill
Have children choose another book and tell the author’s purpose for writing it.
Writing Prompt
Read aloud the following prompt. Have children draw and write their response, using the writing prompt on page 6.
Draw a picture of another animal that can swim. Write one thing you like about that animal.
