Can you wish the moon a happy birthday? Beginning readers contemplate this as they listen to Frank Asch's book Happy Birthday, Moon, the context for a vocabulary study. There are three words outlined here: chat, echo, and perfectly, but you could easily add more in-text words using the same strategy. After introducing these terms, read the story to kids as they listen for the words and context clues. You'll love the comprehension questions for each word, prompting connections to familiar concepts and strengthening retention. Although the graphic organizers are listed for struggling learners, consider using them for all levels!
