Ideas for Parents
and Teachers
Bullfrog Books let children
practice reading informational
text at the earliest reading
levels. Repetition, familiar
words, and photo labels
support early readers.
Before Reading
•
Discuss the cover photo.
What does it tell them?
•
Look at the picture glossary
together. Read and discuss
the words.
Read the Book
•
“Walk” through the book
and look at the photos.
Let the child ask questions.
Point out the photo labels.
•
Read the book to the child,
or have him or her read
independently.
After Reading
•
Prompt the child to think more.
Ask: Venus is closer to the sun
than Earth. It is also hotter than
Earth. What does this suggest
to you about temperatures on
other planets in our solar system?
