In this lesson, your child will read two different texts about recycling. You learned to work together to compare and contrast two different videos and texts about snails. Learning to tell what is alike and different will help students expand both their reading skills and their knowledge.

You can help your child practice the skill of comparing and contrasting by reading two or more books on a topic that you both enjoy, then talking about what is the same and what is different between the books.

Reading to learn is so much fun when families and friends can share reading time together.
