Young readers explore a nonfiction text for its main idea. They will listen to the book Animal Sight by Kirsten Hall, and then observe as the teacher models a main idea think-aloud. Later, for independent practice, they listen to the passage Fly, Fly Butterfly, illustrate it, and write a sentence representing the main idea.
