LESSON

I Went Walking

By Sue Williams, Illustrated by Julie Vivas

Try one of these possible strategies in your instruction. Although we believe nearly any strategy can be tought with just about any book, these are a few highlights. Use them as a springboard for further instruction.

Book Synopsis

I Went Walking is the story of a little boy and the colorful farm animals he encounters while taking a walk. Simple, patterned text, and picture clues make it a great book for emergent readers.

Buy on Amazon*

This is a great story to use with prediction as each page offers a clue in the illustration as to what animal the boy will meet next. Ask the children what animal they think the boy will see on the next page. Ask them what is the picture clue that leads them to think the boy will meet that animal next.
