Word Work 1. High-Frequency Words—Practice using

words that occur often in the text .

• Write the words fish, food, mountain, order, own, piece, these, vegetable, and whole on the board . Read each word aloud .

• Teach students how to play tic-tac-toe with the words . Put students in pairs . Give each pair a 3-by-3 grid, and have them take turns writing the words into the grid, one word per box . Give each pair 10 two-color counters . In order for a student to place a marker into a square, he or she must read the word correctly . Three in a row wins .

2. Word Study—Practice differentiating between hard and soft c .

• Write the word licorice on the board and ask students to guess how the say it . Discuss the difference between the hard c (/k/) and soft c (/s/) sounds .

• Write Soft c and Hard c on the board .• Say the following words, and have the

students decide which column each should go in: celery, cupcake, icy, porcupine, sauce .

• Explain, although there are exceptions to every rule, generally a c will be soft if followed by an e, i, or y . It will generally be hard when it is followed an an a, i, or u.

• Go back and underline the vowels that follow the c in each word .

• Practice the rule by adding more words to the two lists .

3. Word Play—Practice using alliteration .

• Write the words Bitty Beetle Box on the board .

• Ask students to read the phrase aloud . Ask them what they notice . Bring students to the idea that the words all begin with the letter b . Explain that this is called alliteration, a technique used by authors when there is a repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words .

• Ask students to make sentences demonstrating alliteration .

• For additional practice with this skill, have students complete the Alliterative Appetites activity sheet (page 148) .

Ti p : The Curious Café is written as a menu for a restaurant,

listing foods from A to Z . Gather other examples of A-to-Z books for students to reference . Discuss how authors sometimes play with words to fit the pattern, such as eXtra or eXciting .

4. Academic Vocabulary—Practice using economic words .

• Write the phrase $1.00 per cone on the board . Discuss the meaning of per when used to identify the cost of an item .

• Write the following phrase on the board: Prices range from $0.50 to $1.50. Discuss the meaning of the word range .

Comprehension

Before Reading

1. Using Meaning Clues—Review text features to aid in comprehension .

• Review the cover and interior illustrations for clues about the story .

• Write the title on the board: The Curious Café. Ask, “What does the word curious mean?” Discuss how it can mean “interested in something” or “odd or unusual .”

• Ask, “Which meaning do you think is being used in this title since it is about a café? What kinds of meals might be served in an unusual or odd café?”

• Have students look at the illustrations on the covers and read the information on the back cover . Say, “Give me an example of what the pictures tell you about the story .”

2. Using Prior Knowledge—Prompt students to draw on prior knowledge to increase comprehension .

• Discuss the structure of the story with students . Review page 3 with students . Ask, “What does this text remind you of?”

• Ask, “In what ways is the structure similar to a restaurant menu? In what ways is it different?”

During Reading

1. Using Meaning Clues—Once students have read through the book once, review the structure of the story again .

• Ask, “In what ways is the language in this book like a menu? In what ways is it different? What are other ways the author might have organized this book?”

• Ask, “How does the author conclude the book?”• Review page 30 . Ask, “What do you think a book about Café 1234 would be like?”

2. Rereading—Have volunteers choose a page to read aloud, reviewing punctuation, alliteration, and key or made-up words, such as eggscellent, to shape their reading .

Assessment Opportunity—The foods in this book are shaped in a variety of ways . Review shapes by gathering cones, cubes, cylinders, pyramids, and spheres . Have students identify them or match them to word cards .

Comprehension (cont.)

1. Using Meaning Clues—Review the illustrations with students once more .

• Say, “Give me an example of how the illustrations help you understand the main idea of the book .”

• Ask, “How do the different fonts help you understand the book?”

• Ask, “What is the author trying to show with this book? Give me an example .”

• For additional comprehension practice, have students complete the Chef’s Choice activity sheet on page 149 .

2. Building Oral Language—Have students try to list a fruit or vegetable for each letter of the alphabet . Students can work with partners, use encyclopedias, or Internet resources for reference . Have each pair read its list aloud to the whole class .

Writing

Brainstorm different kinds of foods that could be served in a curious café . Then, add alliterative adjectives (amazing apples, bunches of bananas, crunchy crackers) .

• Have below-grade-level students make a grocery list of ten foods, including alliterative descriptions, which need to be purchased for their café .

• Have on-grade-level students make a grocery list of foods from A to Z, including alliterative descriptions, which need to be purchased for their café .

• Have above-grade-level students write a menu from A to Z, including alliterative descriptions, a short sentence about each item, and the prices .

Cross-curricular ConnectionsMathematics—Have students make five selections from The Curious Café and total what their bill would be . Advanced students can total all the items on the menu .

Music—Teach students the song On Top of Spaghetti . The traditional melody and lyrics are included on the Digital Resource CD (resource names: On Top of Spaghetti Lyrics and On Top of Spaghetti Audio) . Encourage students to make up additional verses .

English Language Support The sentences in this book are frequently quite short, requiring more attention to punctuation . Many of the sentences are imperatives, such as Guess the exact weight…. Have students choose pages to read aloud with a partner to practice fluently reading commands .

Use the Interactiv-eBook to practice comprehension and writing .
