What Do We Know About the Seaside?
Before we read a new story or text, we can think about what we already know. This helps our minds get ready to understand new ideas!
Think about a sunny day at the seaside:
- Homes by the water: Some people live in cozy wooden cabins, tall lighthouses, or colorful beach houses near the coast.
- Marine animals: The sea is full of amazing life such as dolphins, sea turtles, octopuses, and colorful fish.
- Water habitats: Animals live in different parts of the sea, like coral reefs, deep blue water, or shallow sandy bays.
When you see words like beach, ocean, or lighthouse, you can already imagine the setting of our reading passage!
Be a Reading Detective!
Before reading every word in a text, look at the clues around it. This is called pre-reading.
You can follow three simple steps:
- Check the title: The title gives us the biggest clue. If the title is A Day with Sea Turtles, we know the text is not about mountain goats!
- Look at the pictures: Pictures show us who is in the story, where they live, and what they are doing.
- Find words you already know: Spotting familiar words like swim, water, shell, or boat helps you guess the main topic quickly.
Tip: You do not need to worry about new words before you begin. First, connect what you already know with the clues on the page.
Connecting Ideas: Clean Seas and Safe Animals
Sea animals have busy lives in their underwater homes. Dolphins jump and play, while sea turtles swim long distances to lay eggs on sandy beaches.
However, marine life also faces serious dangers:
- Plastic waste: Plastic bags and bottles floating in the water can harm curious animals.
- Dirty water: Pollution harms coral reefs and the small fish that live there.
- Lost fishing nets: Animals can get trapped in old nets left in the sea.
When you see a picture of a clean beach or a turtle swimming near plastic, you can easily predict what the reading will discuss: keeping the sea clean and protecting our marine friends!
