Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.  \nOriginal book written by: Kabutule Wilberforce and Lichomo Samuel  \nIllustrators: Kanyago Miria, Mulekwa Fred and Sanja Akisoferi  \nLevel 3: Intermediate Readers  \nThe original Gwere book “Nyonyi ooba Kisolo?” was written during writers’ workshops held in Budaka, Butebo, Kibuku and Pallisa Districts in April 2023 as part of the Let’s Read Together Project. Technical support was provided by SIL Uganda.  \nHow to use this Big Book  \nThis Big Book is designed to encourage children to enjoy reading and to like story books. Children will understand that books have words and pictures, which both have a meaning. Reading Big Books helps the children to develop their vocabulary. The children will also practice the skill of word prediction. The children will learn that every book has a main idea and that things happen in a sequence (order) in a story.  \nWhen you read the book for the first time:  \n1. Show the cover of the book and discuss the picture with the children.  \n2. Read the title, while moving a finger under each word.  \n3. Turn to the first page and discuss the picture.  \n4. Read the text fluently, accurately and with expression.  \n5. Ask the children what they think they will see on the next page.  \n6. Read every page and discuss the pictures.  \n7. At the end of the book, ask the children what they liked about the book or story.  \nWhen you read the book for the second time:  \n1. Show everyone the book. Read the title while pointing to the words.  \n2. Read the story, following the words with a pointer or your finger.  \n3. Encourage the children to read with you if they know some words.  \nIn the third reading session:  \n1. Show everyone the book. Encourage the children to read the title.  \n2. Read the story, following the words with a pointer or your finger.  \n3. Invite the children to read with you if they know some words.  \n4. Do an activity with the book.  \nActivities you can do with the Big Book:  \nMatching: Write a word from the story on a paper or blackboard. Let the children match the word to the word in the Big Book. They can raise their hands or clap when they see the word.  \nActing: Invite some children to act a skit to dramatize the story, while others help the teacher read it.  \nReading together: Ask one group of children to read one page aloud together, then another group can read another page and so on.  \nReading alone: Invite children to come and read to the group using the pointer.  \nOnce upon a time, the birds and the animals held a meeting. They wanted to know if the bat was an animal or a bird.  \nThe bat asked,“Have you ever seen a bird which has teeth? Also, I fly and I give birth to my young ones .”","cbCaiaqLqloa20sE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaqLqloa20sE","pdf",7929390,18,"English","en",105,"# How to Use This Big Book\n## First Reading\n## Second Reading\n## Third Reading\n## Activities with the Big Book\n# Story: A Bird or an Animal?","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of using this Big Book with children?\",\"answer\":\"It encourages children to enjoy reading, understand that books combine words and pictures, and supports vocabulary growth and word prediction practice while reinforcing main ideas and the sequence of events in a story.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps are used for the first reading session?\",\"answer\":\"Show the cover and discuss the pictures, read the title following the words with a finger, discuss the first page picture, then read fluently with expression, ask what comes next, and read through every page while discussing pictures.\"},{\"question\":\"What story question do the birds and animals discuss, and how does the bat respond?\",\"answer\":\"The animals and birds hold a meeting to decide whether the bat is an animal or a bird.
