Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Let learners talk about the front/cover page of the big book to be read. Do a picture walk through the book going page by page with the learners. Have the learners tell you the direction you are going as you open the pages. Run a pointer under the pictures as you do the picture walk to buttress the left-right and top-bottom directionality. Using "Pair share repeat" have learners classify the pictures according to size in their rows
