Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

As part of the process of the daily read aloud lesson, have learners talk about the front/cover and the back page of a book, and ask them to make connections to their own body. Just as we human being have unique features, books also have. Books have a front cover and also a back cover.
Guide learners do a picture walk through the text. Point to the pictures and let the learners tell stories about the pictures. Show the pages to the class and read the text aloud. Help learners learn more positive words to describe themselves. Read the text again and have learners pay attention to the correct names of the parts of the body.
