Finding the Jaguars

A boy and girl outside a home.

On a bright spring morning, Collette and Jimmy went to the zoo.

Terry's Tips

We want children to learn the difference between text (the words) and illusutrations (the pictures). When we read the story, we read the words. Point to each word as you read the story. Then ask children to talk about what they see in the picture.

Extension Activity: There are printed words and pictures everywhere in our world. Ask children to point to words and pictures on signs or labels as you go about your everyday routines.

Storybooks are made up of both words and pictures. Show me where the words are on this page. Show me which part of this page is the picture. Hum, I wonder if I should read the pictures or the words?

Words are made up of letters. Pictures are made of colors and shapes.

Let's point to the picture together. In the picture, I see a girl and boy outside. Let's point to the words together. People read the words on a page. Click on the little black triangle to hear the words said out loud.
