Learning objective
Students will be able to read and use tables of contents.
Introduction
Students will discuss with a partner the kind of information they might find in a book titled Dolphins. They will be introduced to the table of contents for the book about dolphins.
Instruction
Students will see where to find the table of contents in a book. They will look at a table of contents about types of music and circle the page numbers. They will look at another table of contents with missing numbers. They will drag the page numbers to fill in the blanks. They will drag some more elements to tables of contents, making sure the information is in order.
Students will also see how a table of contents can tell readers what the book is about. For example, a book that includes chapters called, "Giraffe," "Monkey," and "Zebra" might be about zoo animals. They will then answer questions using tables of contents.
