Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

As part of the pre-reading activities, show and talk about the cover page, let learners identify the colour and some letters written on the book e.g. title of the book, name of the writer, etc. Run a pointer under the words while reading, use questions to encourage learners talk about parts and usefulness of plants to human beings as they listen to a read aloud story on plants (the last tree dies the last man dies)
In addition to the picture of trees in the book, display 3-D objects with varied attributes and have leaners touch and feel during the discussion. Guide learners describe the given 3-D objects according to a given attribute e.g. shape, size etc. with words/phrases/sentences like "round", "flat", "The book is flat", "A pencil rolls", "An eraser is smaller than a book"
