<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With assistance, students will understand how illustrations help explain the text and discuss similarities and differences in two texts that share the same main idea. At this level, students should also develop the ability to recognize the author‟s reasoning by finding support within the text. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use questions and prompts such as: Look at this picture. Can you tell how the author uses this picture to help you understand the topic? What does this picture add to your thinking about what you (we) read? Can you find the reason why the author thinks that…? Can you find the reason why the author believes…? How are these two books showing the same topic in different ways?
