“Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches
Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches
Had none upon thars. Those stars weren’t so big.
They were really so small
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all..”
But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, ‘We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the
beaches.’
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d
snort
‘We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!’
And whenever they met some, when they were out
walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.”

town is an orphanage run by a
female person nasty enough to
scare night into day. She goes by the
name of Mrs. Sump, though I doubt
there ever was a Mr. Sump on

wouldn’t eat.”

Simply assigning hard books
will not ensure that students
learn at high levels!
1. Read closely to determine what the text
says explicitly and to make logical inferences from
it; cite specific textual evidence when
writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn
from the text.

After at least one reading

Creating a Close Reading
• Underline the major points.
• Circle keywords or phrases that are confusing or
unknown to you.
• Use a question mark (?) for questions that you have
during the reading. Be sure to write your question.
• Use an exclamation mark (!) for things that surprise
you, and briefly note what it was that caught your
attention.
• Draw an arrow (↵) when you make a connection to
something inside the text, or to an idea or
experience outside the text. Briefly note your
connections.
• Mark EX when the author provides an example.
• Numerate arguments, important ideas, or key
details and write words or phrases that restate
them.

Differences Between K-2 and 3-12?
In K-2, teacher reads
aloud initially,
annotates wholly or
guides student
annotation. Students
may or may not
eventually read
independently,
depending on text
difficulty (e.g.,
Wizard of Oz in
Kindergarten.)
In 3-12, students read
independently beginning
with first reading, and
annotate with increased
independence. Readers
who cannot initially read
independently may be
read to, or may
encounter the text
previously during
scaffolded small group
reading instruction.

Vocabulary in Kindergarten
How does the author help us to understand
what cocoon means?
There is an illustration of the cocoon,
and a sentence that reads, “He built a
small house, called a cocoon, around
himself.”
Author’s Purpose
• Genre: Entertain? Explain? Inform?
Persuade?
• Point of view: First-person, third-person
limited, omniscient, unreliable narrator
• Critical Literacy: Whose story is not
represented?
Author’s Purpose in Kindergarten
Who tells the story—the narrator or the
caterpillar?
A narrator tells the story, because
he uses the words he and his. If it
was the caterpillar, he would say I
and my.
Inferences
Probe each argument in persuasive
text, each idea in informational text,
each key detail in literary text, and
observe how these build to a whole.
Inferences in Kindergarten
The title of the book is The Very Hungry
Caterpillar. How do we know he is hungry?
The caterpillar ate food every day “but he
was still hungry.” On Saturday he ate so
much food he got a stomachache! Then
he was “a big, fat caterpillar” so he could
build a cocoon and turn into a butterfly.
