Moving by Inés Ballesteros

Build BackgroundRead the title to children and talk with them about the cover photograph. Help children use their knowledge of moving to think about the book. Build interest with questions such as these: Have you ever moved to a new place? What would it be like to be a new person in a town or school?

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 tells about what happens when people move to new places. Suggested language: Turn to page 2 and look at the picture. What do you see? Can you fi nd a family in this photo? Say the word family. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word family? Find the word family and put your fi nger under it.

Page 4: On page 4, the fi rst sentence reads: This boy is new at school. How do you think he feels? How can you tell? How would you feel? Say the word school. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word school? Find the word school and put your fi nger under it.

Page 6: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. What do you think the family in the picture is doing? How can you tell?

Now go back to the beginning and read to fi nd out how it feels to move to a new place.

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.

How else do people feel in this book? As children recall feelings, make a list using the sentence pattern: ___ feels ___ when ___. After recording feelings from the text, extend the list with other feelings children have.

After children have made their suggestions, read the list aloud together, pointing to each word. Look at all the different feelings people can have!
