Listening and Speaking Connection: character
Have students review what they know about Snubby Nose. Then ask students to work in pairs to develop a role play that shows Snubby Nose explaining to his mother why he went outside to fly his kite. Allow pairs to present their role play to the group. 

Reading Independently
Invite students to reread the book independently or with a partner. Students might like to read other books in a series, such as Reading A-Z’s Tommy Tales.

Home Connection
Invite students to take the book home to read with their families. 

Assessment

• While students are reading the story, select one or two students and ask them to read a portion of the story out loud to you. Note which students seem to be stuck on words and intervene as necessary. During the Reflect on Reading Strategies, note the words students had difficulty with and discuss strategies they could use to help read the words.
• Monitor students’ responses after reading to determine how well they understand character and identify character traits.
• Observe students’ role plays to determine whether their characterization is consistent with the character development in the story.
