The informational text will discuss the special animals that live in grasslands
with their babies. Determining the <i>main idea </i>in a story is the reading
skill we will use to develop comprehension. <i>Adjectives for colors and shapes
</i>will be introduced. The <b><i>amazing words</i></b> presented in the story
are: <i>calf, cub, joey, grassland, pup, </i>and <i>foal</i>. Three new <b><i>sight
words </i></b>will be introduced: <i>we, my,</i> and <i>like</i>.</span></div>

students to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">characters</i> in a story.
The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">rhyming words</i> and silly animals
make the story very entertaining.
