Get to know the bugs around us with emerging readers who use Jerry Pallotta's informative book Icky Bug Colors to learn vocabulary in context. Address terms before reading the text aloud, preparing kids to listen for them later. Here, they focus on six words: colony, explore, graceful, identify, metallic, and primary. As you read, learners raise a hand when they hear a target word and listen for context clues. The comprehension questions here are excellent and engaging, and the graphic organizers are a homework possibility. Find this text read on YouTube if you don't have it on hand.
