It guides educators through structured first, second, and third reading sessions with explicit questioning and rereading strategies, plus optional classroom activities like matching words, acting out scenes, and reading together. The story follows Hen and Kite, focusing on Hen’s need to sew her clothes and Kite lending the needle.","The Lost Needle  \nLevel 2: Book 2G(ii) English  \nThe Lost Needle  \nEnglish  \nUganda  \nCopyright © 2025, SIL Global  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)  \nYou may not use this work for commercial purposes.

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 , Hen and Kite were good friends. They used to sit together and think alike. They always moved together wherever they went.  \nOne day , Hen wanted to sew her clothes but she didn’t have a needle. That made her go to her friend Kite to borrow a needle to sew her clothes with. Kite lent her the needle.","cbCaipZO8ulUmbvH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipZO8ulUmbvH","pdf",4258754,20,"English","en",105,"# How to use this Big Book\n## First reading\n## Second reading\n## Third
