Ideas for Parents
and Teachers
Pogo Books let children practice
reading informational text while
introducing them to nonfiction
features such as headings, labels,
sidebars, maps, and diagrams,
as well as a table of contents,
glossary, and index.
Carefully leveled text with
a strong photo match offers
early fluent readers the support
they need to succeed.
Before Reading
•
“Walk” through the book and
point out the various nonfiction
features. Ask the student what
purpose each feature serves.
•
Look at the glossary together.
Read and discuss the words.
Read the Book
•
Have the child read the book
independently.
•
Invite him or her to list questions
that arise from reading.
After Reading
•
Discuss the child’s questions.
Talk about how he or she might
find answers to those questions.
•
Prompt the child to think
more. Ask: Have you ever
been somewhere a sinkhole
might occur?
