common and dull. Your feathers are as gray as ash.”
Crane spoke to Peacock with gentle words. “I agree that peacocks
have lovely feathers. Yet among birds, what good is that?”
Then Crane spread his wings and took to the sky. “Follow me,
Peacock, to enjoy the true value of feathers.”
Peacock was surprised. He did not know that Crane could fly! How
wonderful flying must be.
Peacock remained stuck on the ground. He watched Crane soar on
his powerful wings until Crane flew out of sight.

Comprehension Strategy: Compare and Contrast
1. Create Context: Guide children to understand the concept of comparing and
contrasting.
Imagine you went to two parties on the same weekend. The first party was a picnic at the park. You
ate sandwiches for lunch. There was a birthday cake with candles. Then you went on the swings
and slides. At the party on the next day, you went to your friend’s house. You ate pizza for lunch.
There was a birthday cake with candles. You played games with the other children.
When you came home, someone asked you about the parties. What did you say you did at the first
party? What did you say you did at the second party? What did you do that was the same? What did
you do that was different?
2. Connect: Connect the context to reading.
When you told how the two parties were alike, you were comparing them. At both parties, there
was a birthday cake and candles. When you told how the two parties were different, you were
contrasting them. At one party, there were sandwiches. At the other party, there was pizza. At one
party, you went on the swings and slides. At the other party, you played games.
When you read, it helps to compare and contrast. When you read stories, you might want to
compare and contrast characters, settings, and story events. When you read informational text, you
might want to compare and contrast two pieces of information.
3. Try: Guide children to try it out.
When we read together in our class and when you read on your own, try to look for ways things are
alike and ways that they are different.
Ask yourself: How are these two things alike? In what ways are these two things different?
4. Check Understanding: Have children apply the strategy.
• Think about the story of The Three Little Pigs. How are the pigs alike? (Possible answers: They all
built houses; they all wanted to be safe.) How are they different? (Possible answers: The first two
pigs built houses quickly; their houses were not safe; the third pig took his time and built a
safe house.)
• Think about a science book about lions and tigers. How are lions and tigers alike?
(Possible answers: They are both big cats; they are both wild animals.) How are they different?
(Possible answers: Lions have manes; tigers have stripes.)
Key Questions
Use these questions to guide children to explore comparing
and contrasting in fiction and informational text.
• What is the meaning of the word alike?
• What is the meaning of the word different?
• In what ways are the characters the same?
• In what ways are the characters different?

GRAMMAR TOOLKIT
Subject/Verb Agreement
OBJECTIVES
Children will:
• identify subject/verb
agreement.
• use subject/verb
agreement in their
writing.
USE
• index cards
• two bags
• art paper and drawing
supplies
LESSON FOCUS
If the naming part of a
sentence names one, add
-s to the action word.
If the naming part names
more than one, do not add
-s to the action word.
When a sentence is in the
present tense, verbs used
with nouns that name one
thing end in -s or -es.
Verbs that are used with
nouns that name more
than one thing do not end
in -s or -es.
IntroduceWrite the following sentences for children. Underline the simple subjects.
One bear likes porridge.
The three bears like porridge.
Point out that in these two examples the action takes place in the present time.
Explain that if the naming part of a sentence names one, then the verb ends
in -s or -es. If the naming part of the sentence names more than one, then the
verb usually does not end in -s. Then point out that one bear names one, so the
verb like ends in -s. Three bears names more than one, so the verb like does not
end in -s.
Write the following sentences for children, and have them underline the verbs.
Ask children if the action word tells about one or more than one.
1. The bears live in the woods. (live, tells about more than one)
2. Papa bear sits at the table. (sits, tells about one)
TeachWrite the following sentences on the board or chart paper. Ask children to
underline the verbs. Then have them tell if the naming word names one or
more than one. Ask children to tell how the verbs end.
1. Baby bear thinks the porridge is too hot. (thinks, one, ends in -s)
2. Mama bear gets some milk. (gets, one, ends in -s)
3. The three bears take a walk. (take, more than one, does not end in -s)
Have children play “Pick and Draw Sentences.” Write subjects on index cards
and place them in one bag. Write verbs on another set of cards and place
them in a second bag. Have children select a card from each and make up a
sentence using the correct form of the verb. Give them art paper to write and
illustrate their sentences.
WriteAsk children to write a sentence containing a verb that goes with a naming part
that names one. Then have them write another sentence containing a verb that
goes with a naming part that names more than one.
Write the following sentence and have children find and fix the error.
Baby bear skip along the path. (Baby bear skips along the path.)
Informal Assessment
Did children:
• use correct subject/verb agreement?
• correctly identify the error in subject/verb agreement?

An initial is always written with a capital letter followed by a period.
IntroduceWrite the following sentences, and read them aloud for children.
1. Dr. Lopez is a dentist.2. Her helper, Mr. L. Abadi, works in her office.
Point out that the abbreviation Dr. stands for Doctor. Explain that Doctor is a title. Point out that a title before a person’s name is always capitalized. Read the second sentence. Point out that Mr. is also a title. Explain that if a title or a person’s name is shortened, or abbreviated, it must end with a period. Initials are always written with a capital letter followed by a period. Have individuals circle the title and initials in the second sentence.
Write these sentences and ask individuals to underline the titles and circle the initials. Point out that Mr. and Mrs. are shortened titles that require a period.
1. Ms. J. Weinstein wants to be an artist. (Ms. J.)2. The children wrote a letter to President Lincoln. (President)3. Mom might vote for Mayor Park. (Mayor)

Write each title on an index card and place cards in a bag. Have partners select one card. One child writes: I am (title) [name]. The other child writes: I met (title) [name]. Then reverse roles. For example:
I am Queen Rosa Gomez. I am Senator Darius Young. I met Queen Rosa Gomez. I met Senator Darius Young.
WriteAsk children to write one sentence with an unabbreviated title and a second sentence with a shortened title.
Write the following sentence and have children find and fix the errors.
