Build BackgroundRead the title to children and talk with them about the cover photo. Ask: What do you think the children in the photo like? Encourage children to talk about what they like. Then ask: What do you think you might read about in this book?

Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, helping with unfamiliar words so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:

: Explain that in this book the children tell about things they like. Point out that we means more than one person.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What are the children doing here? They are riding their bikes. So the children say: We like bikes. Now say the word we. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in we? Find the word We and put your fi nger under it. And you can see that We starts with uppercase W because it comes at the beginning.

Page 3: Remind children that they can use the information in the photos to help them read. Look at the photos on this page. What are the children using to draw? What will they say they like here? They say: We like crayons. What do you like to use when you draw: crayons, markers or colored pencils? Why?

Page 4: What do the children like on this page? So what will they say? They say: We like bubbles. Bubbles can be big. Say the word be. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word be? Find the word be and put your fi nger under it.

Page 5: What will the children say on this page? They say: We like computers. Computers can help us. Say the word help. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word help? Find the word help and put your fi nger under it.

Now turn back to the beginning and read to fi nd out what the children like.

Words to KnowHave children turn to the Words to Know at the back of the book. Read each word aloud and then together. Explain any unknown words. Tell children to look for these words as they read.
