Spots

Spots is an expository text about animals that have spots, such as baby deer, large cats, butterflies, birds’ eggs, and spiders.

Images enhance and extend meaning of the text. Some images are labeled. To conclude, the spots of three large cats are shown with captions that provide additional information. Students are encouraged to pinpoint differences. An index is included.

Interest words include leopard, deer, spider, jaguar, and cheetah. Some sentences begin with independent clauses. A drawing activity that asks students to think about why animals have markings on their bodies is presented in the Teacher’s Guide Notes.
