Introduce Vocabulary: How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World (Priceman)

Ask budding readers, "How do you make an apple pie?" You may get many answers, but Marjorie Priceman takes the cake with her idea in How to Make an Apply Pie and See the World, an adventurous tale full of wonder and new vocabulary. Using context clues and connections with prior knowledge, youngsters learn five new words through this text: acquaintance, coax, ingredients, locate, and spoil. As you read, they listen for these words and raise a hand when they hear one. The graphic organizers linked here may make a good homework assignment, and the comprehension questions are fantastic.
