• Lead engaging Shared Reading in your classroom
• Organize and implement effective Guided and Independent Reading sessions
www.nelson.com/keylinkspd
I developed this series as a result of observing the pressures and time limitations in today’s classrooms. Key Links provides teachers with explicit guidance on every page, in every book, which ensures that all the necessary skills are covered at the appropriate stage.
I believe it is essential that students are exposed to a variety of approaches and that is why Key Links was
developed for Shared, Guided and Independent Reading, as well as Small-Group Independent Reading. Through all these approaches there is an underlying theme—to involve readers in thinking and talking about how and why they read, and making links to what and how they write.
Key Links is a toolbox for not only the teaching of reading but as students become fl uent readers, exposing them to the strategies writers use to craft a variety of different texts, connecting reading and writing to support literacy acquisition.
Series Author—Jill Eggleton
The Key Links Approach
3
SHARED READING• Engage students with magical, rhythmical language
• Save time with embedded 5-day lesson plan
• Build comprehension, vocabulary, and fl uency skills
• Respond and make connections to build comprehension
SMALL-GROUP INDEPENDENT READING
• Practise and apply comprehension strategies, and develop and practise oral language skills
• Built on the reciprocal teaching model that focuses on predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing
GUIDED AND INDEPENDENT READING• Build a strong literacy foundation with small-group reading instruction
• Use the before, during, and after reading suggestions to build comprehension and reading for meaning
• Develop higher-order thinking skills and reinforce comprehension and writing skills with after-reading activities

Baboon's Nest, Kindergarten Shared Reader
EXPLICIT FIVE-DAY PLAN FOR SHARED READERS
The story is read every day but each day has its own specifi c focus.
Day 1: The teacher reads the book aloud to students and focuses on comprehension
Day 2: Students are encouraged to join in the reading—rhythmical text helps students learn the fl ow of language and the teacher focuses on vocabulary
Day 3: Teachers provide explicit instruction on fl uency during the third reading of the book
Day 4: The whole class reads the text aloud with the teacher and focuses on phonics and phonemic awareness
Day 5: Students make connections to the story and work in cooperative groups
Shared Reading GRADES K–3
Exciting, Read-Aloud 11.75” x 15.25” Shared Readers are fun for the whole class! Patterned
rhythmical, rhyming text helps students learn and practise listening and speaking skills, and
develop a rich oral vocabulary.

FOCUS: Describing
Partner Talk GOING SOLO ACTIVITY
Choose an insect that you know about.
Talk to your partner about how it might be cooked or prepared so that it would be good to eat.
Use the five senses so that your partner can imagine what it might be like to eat.
As you listen to your partner explain why this insect would be good to eat, think about whether he or she has made eating the insect attractive, even if you don’t agree with it.
FOCUS: Writing a Description
Going Solo
Now write about that insect. Describe how it might feel and taste so that readers want to eat it.
Use the five senses, particularly taste and feeling, so that readers can experience what it might be like.
You might want to reread the descriptions of insects in the book to give you some idea about what to write.

Small-Group Reading Instruction
After introducing the book, follow the PREVIEW,
VIEW, and REVIEW suggestions provided in the
focus panels of the Leveled Reader. Refer to the
inside front cover for more detailed directions.
Partner Talk
Follow the suggestions provided in the focus panels
for partner work. These activities give all students the
opportunity to speak and participate in discussion.
Differentiating Instruction
In Spanish, the verb to have, tener, is used to
express hunger and other sensations. I am hungry
in Spanish is Tengo hambre, or literally, I have
hunger. Explain to students the difference in
expressing hunger, and have them practice the
English formation by asking them to tell a story
in which they and others are hungry at a fiesta or
party.
Additional Support for Readers
After completing the PREVIEW, VIEW, and
REVIEW suggestions, ask students to turn to
page 16 and use the story frame to retell and
discuss the story. Some students may need more
prompting. You can ask questions such as: Why
might Spotty Fish not like Octopus at first? How does
Octopus save Spotty Fish? What might have happened
had Octopus fought the shark? Would you be friends
with Octopus? Why or why not?
Responding to the Text
In Octopus Is a Friend, an octopus makes a friend.
Reinforce the theme of friendship by having students
discuss how they feel when people are kind to them.
Then, extend the activity by having students think of
something they could do for someone who could use
a little kindness. Have them draw what they could do
and then write about their drawing. Ask volunteers to
share their ideas.

The Eye of a FlyUnder the lens of a microscope, a fly’s eye looks like two halves of a basketball glued to each side of its head. Like a basketball, there are little raised patterns all over the surface of the eyes. There is row after row of tiny dots. These tiny dots are actually little eyes and a fly’s eye has thousands of them.
For a fly, looking down from the ceiling must be like having a wall of tiny television screens. The fly sees the room as a patchwork of small images. It can see what lies in front, and also what is above its head. It can see things from the left and from the right — all at the same time.That’s why it can easily spot the movement of the hand and the swatter, and dart to safety before it’s too late.

Sylvie and I grabbed our bags and headed for the music room. Macy, Tamsin, and their friends were loitering outside the door.
“Hey Kirsty,” said Macy. “Are you on SmileBook yet?” A teasing look flashed across her eyes. I shrugged my shoulders. The other girls exchanged glances. The same mocking look. “You have to be at least thirteen to be on that,” said Sylvie. “My Dad told me.” Macy rolled her eyes at Sylvie and ignored her. “Well, are you?” she insisted, moving close to me. “Not yet,” I blushed. “But I might join if I feel like it.”
“Don’t tell your parents,” said Macy. “Just lie about your age on the form. It’s real simple, and then you can send me a buddy request. You can be like my four hundredth buddy.” “Sure,” I said.
“No problem.”
Sylvie just shook her head.

Food futurologists believe that meat might soon become a luxury and that instead of a meat patty in a hamburger, there could be a bug or two. They say insects are full of important things that people need in their diet to keep healthy.Eating insects is also good for the environment. It doesn’t cost as much to raise insects as it does to raise large livestock. Large livestock need huge areas of land and they are expensive to feed and keep. Insects don’t need as much food or water and they certainly don’t need as much space. No forests would need to be cut down when a thousand bugs can be grown in a small box without any fertilizers. Insects can live on scraps of food that are thrown away. People throw away about one-third of their food as scraps, and insects could live on that.
Insects also use more of what they eat to grow because they are cold-blooded.
