Lesson

Before Reading
• Look at the cover of the book. Discuss the
picture and the title.
• Ask readers to brainstorm a list of what they
already know about butterflies. What can
they expect to see in the book?
• Go on a picture walk, looking through the
pictures to discuss vocabulary and make
predictions about the text.

During Reading
• Read for purpose. As they are reading,
encourage readers to think about the
butterfly’s life and the impacts the bug has
on other things.
• If readers encounter an unknown word, ask
them to look at the sounds in the word. Then,
ask them to look at the rest of the page. Are
there any clues to help them understand?

After Reading
• Encourage readers to pick a buddy and
reread the book together.
• Ask readers to name three things from the
book that butterflies do. Go back and find the
pages that tell about these things.
• Ask readers to write or draw something that
they learned about butterflies.
