Introduce the Book
Show students the cover and have them read the title. Have them use the title and the photo to make initial predictions about the main idea or topic.
Ask: What do you see on the cover? What do you think this book is about? Do you think this is fiction or nonfiction? What makes you think that? 

Book Walk
Give students their copies of the book and have them turn to the contents page.
Ask: What does the table of contents tell us? What clues does this page give you about what you will be reading? What is a glossary? On what page can you find the glossary?
Have students look at the first couple of pages to ensure they understand that this is an interview with questions and answers.
sk: How is this text organized? How can you tell who is asking the questions? Who is answering the questions?
Point out the use of feature boxes and bold text.
Ask and say: Why is the word honeycomb in bold on page 5? Let’s turn to the glossary and see if we can find it there. What is the definition of honeycomb? Look on page 10. What is the purpose of the feature box on this page? 

Reading Strategies
Remind students to use any or all of the following strategies to help them in their reading:

• Ask the questions: Does it make sense? Does it sound right? Does it look right?
• Connect the text with what they already know
• Reread any sentence or page that was difficult, to make sure they understand the text
• Use what they know about letters and sounds to read new words
• Look for parts of words they know, such as root words, prefixes, and suffixes
• Ask questions about what they are reading to help them make sense of the text

Tell students that there may be new ideas or unfamiliar words in this text. One strategy they can use to understand new concepts is to go back and reread to check if what they are reading makes sense. This often helps them figure out unfamiliar words. It also reinforces some of the ideas in the book.
