Content and Literacy Development for Diverse Language Learners

National Geographic’s Windows on Literacy: Language, Literacy & Vocabularyprogram is designed for today’s classroom—diverse, challenging, and complex.Many children come to school without the basic background knowledge andoral language development needed for academic success. Language, Literacy & Vocabulary provides the extra support young learners need to experience success from the start.

National Geographic’s Language, Literacy & Vocabulary program offers richopportunities for beginning learners to build background knowledge, developvocabulary and oral language, and learn grade-level content. Throughout the nation, teachers told us they needed materials that scaffolded the learning so that children from diverse language backgrounds, at-risk readers, and children with learning challenges would have opportunities to achieve theirfull potential. The Language, Literacy & Vocabulary program meets this need through:

• Thematic units built around essential key concepts in science, social studies, and math

• Academic vocabulary development

• Age-appropriate and engaging nonfiction texts

• Considerate text with strong picture-text match

• Scaffolded, multilevel instruction for students at different levels of language proficiency

• Springboards to related reading and writing

• Customized instruction for English language learners (ELLs)

• Research-based instructional strategies

• Rich and varied teacher support and tools

Matter, matter everywhere.

You find it here and over there.

You’ll find it in a state, you see.

How many states? Matter has three.

Matter—a solid, like ice in a rink.

Matter—a liquid, like water you drink.

Matter—a gas, which you usually can’t see,

Like vapor rising from water that’s bubbling.

Preview the BookDistribute copies of States ofMatter. Read aloud the title and the author’s name. As you pagethrough the book, point out:• The Contents page tells what

students will read about.• Each entry from the Contents

appears as a heading in the book.The heading tells what the pagesare about.

• The sidebar on page 7 addsinformation about the states of matter.

Predict VocabularyEncourage students to use picturesto predict vocabulary: Which wordsdo you expect to see in this book?

Display pages 6–7 and cover thewords: Which words do you expect tosee on these pages?

Students may mention objects onthe pages, such as rocks. Add thesewords to the Word Bank. Havestudents talk with partners and usesolid, liquid, and gas to describe theobjects. Continue the activity withother pages, as time allows.

Model the ReadingInvite students to follow along asyou read aloud pages 4–12 in Statesof Matter. Read fluently, modelingsmooth, accurate reading withappropriate expression. After

reading each group of pages, pauseto think aloud. Also, encouragestudents to ask questions and make observations.

Pages 4–7Think Aloud This is like the Think andDiscuss scene on the Theme Builder.I know the labels name the people and things.

Pages 8–13Think Aloud When I look through theheadings, I see that the next three pairsof pages each describes one of thestates of matter. This tells me that eachpair of pages gives information about thekind of matter named in the heading.

Share the ReadingNow have partners complete thereading. Encourage them to pauseafter reading one or two pages andhave conversations about what theyhave read. Ask them to sharequestions they may have.

Reread for FluencyTo have students practice fluentreading, read aloud pages 6–7 of States of Matter, sentence by sentence. Have students echo-read each sentence in unison,imitating your model. Then havestudents reread the entire bookindependently to build fluency. See Customize the Reading.

OBJECTIVES

Lesson 2

Develop Oral LanguageDisplay several objects, such as anempty glass, a glass filled with tapwater, and a glass filled with clubsoda. Ask students to describe thestates of matter. Next, ask: What willhappen when you heat water in a pot?

Turn and Talk Have learning partnersdescribe objects in the classroom bytheir shape, size, and state of matter.The listening partner can guesswhat the objects are.Revisit the Theme Poem Display the theme poem on the ThemeBuilder. Assign students to readlines 5, 6, and 7. Have the groupread the other lines in unison.Read the poem together.

Build BackgroundDisplay the graphic organizer onthe Theme Builder and identify thethree states of matter shown on theweb. Then review changes inmatter as shown on the graphicorganizer. For example: When youheat water, the water will change tosteam. When you freeze water, the waterwill change to ice.

Turn and Talk Encourage partners to describe the processes shown onthe graphic organizer and say thestate of matter in each picture.Begin Vocabulary Log As studentsread, encourage them to use stickynotes to tag words they would liketo save. After reading, students canrecord the words and their notesabout them.Use Learning Masters page 24.

Develop Concepts and Vocabulary

Introduce Making InferencesStudents make inferences whenthey combine information fromthe text with things they alreadyknow to infer meaning.Think Aloud When I read a book,sometimes the author doesn’t tell meeverything I need to know. I have to thinkabout what I’m reading and what I seein the pictures and combine thatinformation with what I already know.That’s called making inferences.

Model Making InferencesTurn to pages 14–15 and modelthe comprehension strategy andlanguage forms for makinginferences.

The words tell me that the water hasbecome a solid—ice.

The picture shows me the ice on asmall river or canal. I can see the boatsfrozen in the ice.

I know that water in a river is usually aliquid. I know that when the temperatureis very cold, water will change to a solid.

I infer that the cold temperaturechanged the water in the river into asolid because I know that water freezeswhen it’s very cold.

For additional practice in makinginferences, have partners work onLearning Masters page 26.

Modeled Writing

Use the graphic organizer on theTheme Builder to review some KeyConcepts of the theme. Prepare tomodel writing, including how touse details to support main ideas.Think Aloud I’m going to write about anamusement park and things I might findthere in different states of matter. I’lldraw a web like the one on the ThemeBuilder and list ideas for each state ofmatter—solid, liquid, or gas. (Ideas forsolids should include rides, such as a

roller coaster. Liquids and gas couldinclude soda.)Think Aloud I’m going to create aninteresting beginning by describing theroller coaster. I’ll begin by telling wherewe are.

At an amusement park, a red rollercoaster goes slowly up the hill. Theroller coaster is a solid. It has ashape. When it moves from place toplace, it still keeps its shape.

Customize the ReadingStudents reread and talk about States of Matter using one of thefollowing options:

• Look through the pages, pointing to objects and telling their state of matter.

• Reread the book while followingalong with the audiolesson.

As students read, invite them toshare what they notice. Use someof the suggestions below toencourage observations and talkabout the book.

Pages 6–15Check Understanding Tell about thedifferences between a solid, a liquid,and a gas. (The size and shape of asolid stay the same. The shape of aliquid depends on where it is. You cansee solids and liquids, but you can’talways see gases. You can see signs, likeair bubbles in water, that show thatgases are there.)

Pages 16–17Check Understanding In your ownwords, tell about the states of matter inthe water cycle. (When the sun heatswater in the puddle, the water changesinto vapor, a gas. In clouds, the waterchanges back into a liquid. The liquidthen falls as rain.)

Pages 18–19Check Understanding Have studentsuse the words from the Word Bankand make inferences about changesin the states of matter shown in the pictures.

Pages 20–21Check Understanding Have studentsdiscuss the pictures. How are solids,liquids, and gases the same? (They all

take up space.) Which does not changeshape easily? (a solid) Which do we notsee easily? (a gas)

Discuss the BookInvite students to share what theylearned. Ask them to describe thethree states of matter and giveexamples of each. Also, askstudents to describe how states ofmatter can change and to provideexamples of the changes.Encourage students to use thewords in the Word Bank to discusswhat they have read. Remindstudents to add words to theirVocabulary Logs.Students can complete LearningMasters page 27.

Reread for FluencyRead aloud the paragraph on page 8, without pausing at theperiods or commas. Ask studentswhy it was hard to understand you.(You didn’t pause.) Explain that aperiod is a place to stop at the endof a sentence; a comma shows aplace to pause within a sentence.Guide students to improve inphrasing by being sure to pause for each comma and period as theyread the page in unison with you.For other suggestions, see Customizethe Reading.

Theme Poem

Matter, matter everywhere.

You find it here and over there.

You’ll find it in a state, you see.

How many states? Matter has three.

Matter—a solid, like ice in a rink.

Matter—a liquid, like water you drink.

Matter—a gas, which you usually can’t see,

Like vapor rising from water that’s bubbling.
