When we brainstorm, I have students turn and talk with their partner and discuss what they think the book might be about. I also like to brainstorm about the topic of the book. This also helps them begin to put a retelling together. This begins to support their comprehension and build background knowledge, as well as give them an idea of what happens at the beginning. If I want to practice predicting, I definitely make sure not to go through the entire book either.īefore we begin reading, I want my students to get an idea of what the book is going to be about. When books have an exciting ending, like this one, I don’t like to give the ending away so I don’t “walk” through the entire book. You’ll have to read it to find out who helps him and how they get the egg back into the nest.īefore you read with wordless picture booksĪs I would with any of the interactive read alouds I do in my classroom, I start by taking a sneak peek or picture walk through the first few pages. At the end of the book, Hank gets help from another animal. He even has to keep it safe and warm overnight. He sees the nest high above and tries several ways to get the egg back in the nest. This book is the absolute cutest! Hank finds an egg on the ground while walking in the woods. My absolute favorite wordless picture book is Hank Finds an Egg written and beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Dudley.
