Favorite Things
by Katie Sharp
Build Background
Read the title to children and talk with them about the cover photo. Ask: What do you
think the children in the photo like? Encourage children to talk about what they like. Then
ask: What do you think you might read about in this book?
Introduce the Text
Guide children through the text, helping with unfamiliar words so they can read the text
successfully. Here are some suggestions:
Page 2: Explain that in this book the children tell about things they like. Point out
that we means more than one person.
Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What are the children doing here? They
are riding their bikes. So the children say: We like bikes. Now say the word we.
What letter would you expect to see first in we? Find the word We and put your
finger under it. And you can see that We starts with uppercase W because it
comes at the beginning.
Page 3: Remind children that they can use the information in the photos to help
them read. Look at the photos on this page. What are the children using to draw?
What will they say they like here? They say: We like crayons. What do you like to
use when you draw: crayons, markers or colored pencils? Why?
Page 4: What do the children like on this page? So what will they say? They say:
We like bubbles. Bubbles can be big. Say the word be. What letter would you
expect to see first in the word be? Find the word be and put your finger under it.
Page 5: What will the children say on this page? They say: We like computers.
Computers can help us. Say the word help. What letter would you expect to see
first in the word help? Find the word help and put your finger under it.
Now turn back to the beginning and read to find out what the children like.
Words to Know
Have children turn to the Words to Know at the back of the book. Read each word aloud and
then together. Explain any unknown words. Tell children to look for these words as they read.

bubbles, computers, trees,
books, dogs, baseball, and ice
cream.

language on several pages,
sometimes changing only one
word in each sentence.

Choices for Support
Concepts of Print
Practice early reading behaviors such as reading from left to right and locating the first
and last letters of each word on a page.
Phonemic Awareness and Word Work
Provide practice as needed with words and sounds, using one of the following activities:
• Rhyming Words Say the word like and have children repeat it. Ask them to name
rhyming words for like. (bike, hike, trike) Follow the same procedure with these
words: tree (me, bee, free); book (look, cook, hook); dog (log, hog, frog); ice (nice,
twice, mice).
• Sorting Letters Materials: lower case magnetic or cardboard letters or letter cards.
Have children sort the letters according to their features: tall or short; with or without
sticks; with or without circles; with or without tails.
