Explain that the worksheet compares the different tribes featured in the book. Ask students to look for interesting points about the people in the book. This provides students with a focus in their reading, increasing comprehension and retention.

Hand out the worksheet. Explain to children what the worksheet requires them to do. Say: You will need to read the text Desert People and then fill in the spaces on this worksheet. It may be easier to read a chapter and fill in the area relating to that chapter as you go.

Hand out the books and have students read quietly at their own pace.
