Lesson Plans for THE UP DOWN BOY level N

During Reading

Student Reading
Hand out the books to children to read quietly or aloud at their own pace. Children should point to each word as they read. Remind children to break the words down, sound them out, and look at the pictures to help them.

Think Aloud
After reading certain pages, you may want to ask children what they think it would be like to walk on their hands. Ask: Would it be easy or difficult? What are things going to look, feel, and sound like?

Using the Worksheet
After everyone has had a chance to read the story, children should write what they think it would be like if they spent a whole day, from the time they woke up in the morning until they went to bed that night, walking on their hands. Ask: What would be fun about it and what would not be fun? If they have time, they can draw a picture to go with what they have written.
