Unit 2: Tell A Story, 1-2-3 – In this unit, students focus on sequence as they enjoy “Counting Books,” both fiction and informational, and
stories based on “three.”
Overview: Building on the wide exposure to text types in the first unit (“A Colorful Time With Rhythm and Rhyme”), students now focus on
the sequence of a text: the beginning, middle, and end of a story. They learn to retell rich stories and, by listening to versions of traditional
stories, recognize a familiar story embedded in a different setting with different characters. Counting rhymes and reading a number of the
counting books will continue the first unit’s focus on phonological awareness and listening for more rhythm and rhyme. Students study
three art pieces, which are used for a creative activity in storytelling, and are related to the idea of multiple versions of a familiar story.

Using the book of illustrations “Pancakes for Breakfast” (Tomie DePaola), have students
look at the illustrations and note how the pictures tell a story. Point out the importance of
looking very closely at the details in the illustrations to tell what happens next. Encourage
active thinking by asking what might happen when the page is turned to the next illustration.
Because this is a wordless book, it is interesting to point out how the illustrator is telling a
story without words. Even picture books with words tell a story through the illustrations.
Write the students’ dictated story on sentence strips and place in a pocket chart. (Extend
this activity by reversing this process: Read aloud the text of a simple book without showing
the illustrations. Ask students to illustrate the story, creating their own wordless book. The
students’ illustrations can then be compared to the book.) (K.RL.5, K.RL.6, K.RL.7)
