The fourth chapter, Physical Science, describes the study of energy, forces of motion and the composition of matter as a solid, liquid or gas. As in previous chapters, the reader is asked to think of questions that relate to this area of science. • Chapter books present a “reading to learn” experience. Therefore, students may read independently, in a shared reading experience or books may be read to them. Present students with one chapter at a time for reading and comprehension instruction. • After each page is read, ask the discussion question that appears in italics at the bottom of the page. Focus on pictures to reinforce understanding. Repeated readings are encouraged. • Suggested Reading Levels for this chapter include: Levels L, presented in a text format, and E, presented in both text and symbol-supported formats. Read and Answer Comprehension activities extend beyond “checking” what students remember from reading. During instruction, students learn to refer to the book, using both illustrations and text, to locate answers to questions. Students recognize types of responses appropriate to who, what and where formats. Question responses may also provide students with a foundation for story retell. Activities should be repeated throughout the unit to increase students’ skills in multiple areas of comprehension. • Select the level of comprehension questions appropriate to each student. Comprehension questions are also in three formats. Level 3 is text only. Level 2 is symbol-supported. Level 1 is written in sentence strip format, allowing students to select from multiple choices or one errorless picture choice. • Build comprehension and vocabulary through discussions. Standards Connection • These standards connection lessons are designed to build summarizing skills and are applicable to all chapters. Using the first standards connection form, determine whether this book is a work of fiction or nonfiction. Select the additional standards connection lesson based on whether the chapter is a fictional format that has a story line or an informational text that includes facts and historical events.

Lesson 9 Instructional Targets
Reading Standards for Literature • Range and Level of Text Complexity: Experience grade level and age-appropriate literature materials, including poems, biographies, chapter
books, fiction and nonfiction works, that are adapted to student reading level. • Key Ideas and Details: Answer questions to explain the main ideas, details and inferences of a story. Which of your state standards are aligned to these instructional targets?
Chapter 4: Physical Science The title of the Chapter Book is Let’s Learn About Science. The fourth chapter, Physical Science, describes the study of energy, forces of motion and the composition of matter as a solid, liquid or gas. As in previous chapters, the reader is asked to think of questions that relate to this area of science. • Chapter books present a “reading to learn” experience. Therefore, students may read independently, in a shared reading experience or books may
be read to them. Present students with one chapter at a time for reading and comprehension instruction. • After each page is read, ask the discussion question that appears in italics at the bottom of the page. Focus on pictures to reinforce understanding.
Repeated readings are encouraged. • Suggested Reading Levels for this chapter include: Levels L, presented in a text format, and E, presented in both text and symbol-supported
formats. Read and Answer Comprehension activities extend beyond “checking” what students remember from reading.
