Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In the community circle time learner sit in a horse shoe form with the help of the big book, ask learners to identify the cover page and talk briefly about the colours and pictures.
Guide them point to the title of the book. Have them point to the individual words in the title. Guide them to use the cover page picture to predict the content.
Using Echo-reading, read aloud the sentences as you point to the individual words while reading. Show pictures for learners to make predictions to monitor understanding.
At the post-reading stage, have learners tell part they liked most in the reading and why they say so. Have learners use some of the gardening words to make simple sentences
Have learners colour outlines of some of the farm tools mentioned in the reading and talk about their colouring using positive language
Have learners sort and group the farm tools according to colours and use comparative language ("more than", "less than" "same as") to compare their art work. Extend the activity to include addition and subtraction.
