It's a Book

Smith, L. (2011). It's a book. New York: Roaring Brook.

This is a simple book about reading a book.  It doesn't do anything fancy, it doesn't talk to you or you can't listen to it, you just have to read it.



Lesson Plan for It's a Book.

This would be a good book to introduce kindergarten students on how to treat a book, the different parts of a book, how to turn the pages and to follow the text from top to bottom and left to write.  After going over the different parts of the book, then I would have the students working with partners use the iPads to take pictures of each part of the book and upload it into Duddle Buddy and then write on each picture which part it is.

(1)  Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Print Awareness. Students understand how English is written and printed. Students are expected to:

(F)  hold a book right side up, turn its pages correctly, and know that reading moves from top to bottom and left to right; and

(G)  identify different parts of a book (e.g., front and back covers, title page).
