Synopsis:This is a great beginning reader about dinosaurs. It explains how to pronounce the names of each dinosaur and gives basic information about them. It's great for kids who want to read about Dinosaurs when most books on the topic are going to be way too difficult for them to read on their own. 

Pre Reading Activity:

Make a KWL chart to see what the students know and want to know about dinosaurs.

Post Reading Activity:

Finish the chart to see what the students have learned when reading this book.

Reflection:

I was very happy with this book because there are not many informational books at such a low level for kids.  This book allows students to know more about an interesting topic. This will also get children more interested in reading because they can read about what they like.
