Take an amphibious journey with budding readers as you explore vocabulary in Wendy Pfeffer's informative book From Tadpole to Frog. This text is the backdrop of a vocabulary exercise based on six words: fertilize, gills, hatch, hibernate, mate, and tadpole. After a quick look at these terms, learners practice active listening by raising a hand when they come up in the text. What context clues help them better understand these words? Comprehension questions help them connect word meaning to outside concepts, and the graphic organizers are a great tool for all learners. Use this as an introduction to a research project!
