November 2004     Vol.5 Issue 11

Suggested lesson plan for "Kids
have fun learning better nutrition"

Possible hard words: Proper names: Max Sandza, Amanda Clover, Dana Demsky, Vincent Stanec, Rickie Merrill
Other words: nutrition, categories, gymnastics

BEFORE READING: This is a fairly easy article. To help a young reader anticipate the words to be met in the article, have him or her read the list of possible hard words. Help out if help is needed. Then ask the young reader to read the article aloud and be ready to discuss it later.

DURING READING: Provide any names or words fairly quickly in order to keep the reading fluent.

AFTER READING: Use questions such as these to check for understanding and to promote a discussion of the article.

  1. What was the team competition that was described early in the article?
  2. What were the four things grandma or grandpa could do to keep their hearts healthy?
  3. What did some of the kids resolve to do regarding fast food from restaurants?
  4. What are your practices regarding nutrition and exercise?
