I read this book to my kindergarten boys after reading a great picture book titled, One Giant Leap: Neil Armstrong by Don Brown. I knew Streissguth’s book was not as exciting or enticing as Brown’s, so I created a challenge for the boys as I read. I grouped the boys in pairs, giving each set a green flag and a red flag. After each page the pair would decide if the information I read was in the Brown’s as well, or if it was new information. The student would hold up the green flag for repeated information, and the red flag for new information. This was a great informal assessment for me, and an easy way for us to compare and contrast two books about the same topic. It also kept the boys engaged and focused during this read aloud. ( )
