Reflect on Reading Strategies

• Ask students if their predictions about the story were right.
• Ask students whether making connections to another story they knew helped them understand this story.
• Have students share any other strategies they used while reading. For example, ask students to show you a word in the book that they sounded out. Or, ask them to look at a particular word in the story, and ask them how they could figure out this word if they didn’t know it. 

Applying the Comprehension    Skill: Cause-and-effect relationships

• Guided Practice: Give students worksheet 1 and guide them to find the first cause-and-effect relationships in the book.
• What happened when Glooskap went to see Winter? What caused him to fall asleep? We can write "Winter put a spell on him" in the first box.
• What was the effect of Tatler shouting? We can write "Glooskap woke up" in the second box.
• Independent Practice: Have students complete the rest of the worksheet independently. For the last question, students will have to locate an entire cause-and-effect relationship on their own.
