Instructional Routine: The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Introduction

Encouraging predictions and discussions about the story's structure and vocabulary can further enhance learning. Here's a more detailed breakdown:1.

  1. Pre-Reading:
  • Introduce the book and author (Eric Carle) and discuss the topic (caterpillar, food, life cycle).
  • Introduce new vocabulary words related to the story (e.g., "caterpillar," "hungry," "food").

2. Reading the Story:

  • Read the story aloud, pausing to allow students to predict what the caterpillar will eat next.
  • Encourage students to follow along using their own copies of the book.

3. Post-Reading Discussion & Activities:

  • Sequencing:Discuss the order of events in the story (what the caterpillar ate each day) and use visual aids like cards or a timeline to sequence the events.
  • Retelling:Have students retell the story, either individually or as a group, using their own words or prompts.
