Expand the Reading
Writing Connection
Have children use the information from the book to write a report about the systems of the body. Have them use the same headings of the book, and write brief descriptions of each. The paper should include interesting facts about the body and should utilize new vocabulary from the text.
Science Connection
Have a doctor or nurse come in to give a lecture about how people can stay healthy. Have each child come up with a question they would like the guest speaker to answer so that children can learn about things that interest them, and to give the guest speaker ideas. Have children write what they have learned from the guest speaker to their KWL chart. If no speaker is available, bring in books that children can read about ways to keep the systems in your body healthy.
Reading Independently
Have children read the book independently or with a partner. You can also encourage them to read other books of their choice at the appropriate level.
