Overview • Today we will look at a new author and illustrator, talk about how this helps us find more fun books to read, and look at how authors use rhyme to make reading easier and fun. Access • Ask students to raise their hands if they know what a rhyme is. • Ask students to raise their hands if they can create a rhyme from their name. • Call on a few students to hear examples. New Information • Tell class that rhymes are not only fun, but they actually help us read. • Explain how some authors use sentence patterns (repetition) and rhyme to create fun books. • Rhymes are easy to create – they can be real words or make-believe words. Lesson Plan: October 1 - 7, 2007 “Teach children to love books and you have given them a gift for life” William P.

Do you want to read more books like this? o Authors often write other books too – if we like one book, we will probably like the others too. o Where do we look to find more books by this author? o How do you keep your place when you are reading a book and you don’t finish reading it? o If time permits, play The Name Game with some of the students’ names. • Tell the class that we will be sharing more information about the bears they have at home later during Library Time.
