in tandem with our authors.
Together, they designed digital

• activate and maintain student engagement within each lesson.
• provide parental support for at-home review opportunities.
• meet the growing need for technology instruction

Frogs and Toads
SECTION 1
How Frogs and Toads Are Alike
Frogs and toads have many things in common. One way they are alike is
that they are both classified in the group of cold-blooded animals called
amphibians. Cold-blooded means that an animal’s body temperature changes
to match its surroundings. Amphibians are animals that can live on land and in
water. For this reason, both frogs and toads have long back legs for jumping and
webbed feet for swimming. Another way frogs
and toads are alike is that they both catch
insects with their long, sticky tongues. Finally,
both frogs and toads start life as tadpoles
hatched from eggs laid in water. A tadpole is
the larva, or baby stage, of frogs and toads.
During the tadpole stage, frogs and toads
have gills so they can breathe under water. Later,
they develop lungs for breathing air as they mature
into adult frogs and toads.
SECTION 2
Comprehension Questions
provide a scaffold for
class discussions.

Strategy 2
Using the Questioning Strategy
The purpose of questioning is to get your mind ready for information. It gives you a
reason for reading and makes it easier to remember main ideas and understand key words.
Turn headings and key words in the article into questions.
1. How are frogs and toads alike?
2. What does cold-blooded mean?
3. What are amphibians?
4. What is a larva?
5. When are gills and lungs used?
6. How are frogs and toads different?
7. What is a habitat?
References are clear
and concise.
Strategy 3
Using the Reading Strategy
The purpose of reading is to understand the information under
headings and to get definitions for key words. Now, read the article.
Strategy 4
Using the Scanning Strategy
The purpose of scanning is to help you use headings and key words to find answers
to questions. Scan headings, key words in bold print, underlined words, and topic
sentences to help you find the answers to the questions below.
1. How are frogs and toads alike?
Based on what

8. When do frogs and toads breathe with lungs?
9. How are frogs and toads different?
10. Which section contains the word habitat in bold-type?
11. Which section tells you where frogs and toads live?
12. What is the main idea of the article?
How Frogs and Toads Are Different
Even though frogs and toads are very similar, there are a few ways in which
they are different. One difference in frogs and toads is their skin. Toads have dry,
bumpy skin that is darker in color than frogs’ skin. A frog’s skin is moist, smooth,
and lighter in color than a toad’s. Another difference is their body shape. Toads
have wide, flat bodies, and frogs have narrow, slender
bodies. Finally, toads and frogs require different living
habitats, which is the place where a plant or animal
normally lives and grows. Frogs must always live near
water in order to keep their skin moist. Toads need less
water and can live in dry places.
Using the Skimming Strategy
The purpose of skimming is to get a general idea of the article before you actually read it.
Use titles, headings, subheadings, and key words to help you.
1. What is the title of the article?
2. Name the headings.
3. What are the bold-type words in each section?
4. What is the main idea of the article?
Examples show how
to apply what is
being learned.

Extending the Lesson:
Blogging
A blog is like an online
journal where you can express your
opinions and make comments about
what is going on in your class, family,
school, and community. Since others
can read what you have written, you
must be careful not to write anything
private, rude, or unkind. You must
always accept the responsibility for
how you express yourself in a place
that other people can read.
The following activities
can be used to blog.
1. Wall blog at home
(parent supervision)
Use poster board, butcher paper,
white shower curtain, or white
board to set up a home blog in
a central location in your house.
All family members can read

Jingle Time:
Writing Connection…
Word Study:
Compare Sentence 1 to Sentence 2. The sentences mean
basically the same thing, but Sentence 2 is more informative
because of the added details. Notice how adjectives, adverbs,
and prepositional phrases are used to improve and expand the
meaning of the original sentence. Name the words and phrases
in Sentence 2 that are used to add more details. When you
write, ask yourself this question: Have I used enough adjectives,
adverbs, and prepositional phrases to make my sentences
interesting and informative? Brainstorm and make a list of
interesting adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases that
can be used for elaboration.

3. For students who lack confidence,
challenge them (privately) like this:
If you feel like you can’t handle the
whole page, you may choose to do
only the even questions or the odd
questions. Just read through the
page to decide which group you
think is easier for you to do.
(Hint: The brain loves challenge.
The student will actually
accomplish even more success
with the page by having to read
through the entire page in order
to determine which ones will be
easier. Often, students will figure
out that doing the whole page is
the best plan; confidence is the
result.)
List 2: rabbits jump, birds fly, boys run, children play.
Finally, read the first list and have students respond with the second list.

The ELL Solution
E L L M AT E R I A L
Our specialized curriculum,
Stepping Stones to English,
provides sound, direct
instruction of the Shurley
method in Spanish first and
then with an Integrated
Language Phase.
Instruction begins in
Spanish so that students
fully comprehend the
Shurley method. Then,
English is gradually introduced to help students gain
confidence for the transition
phase of the program.
When students have
completed all the learning
and transition phases,
they will have acquired
the essential English skills
they need for success in the
regular classroom.
Teacher’s Manual
ELLs will gain confidence
with both their first
language and English
in a systematic, logical
approach that prepares
them for the rigors of an
academic English class.
This comprehensive manual includes everything
the teacher needs to plan, manage, and implement
the program. It includes instructional strategies
and scripted lessons so that the teacher can easily
facilitate students’ transition into English. Students’
English literacy gets a jumpstart in this program so
that they can be integrated seamlessly into any
classroom setting.
Includes the Jingle Time audio CD.
