How the lesson starts: Read Words and Pictures Together

1. Meet the twins

   Meet two bunny twins. Rafi reads the words. Luna looks at the pictures. Alone, they each know part of the story. Together, they know it all!

2. Rafi reads

   Rafi reads. Omar grabbed his bucket and shovel. He could not wait to start digging. Hmm. Where is Omar? The words do not say! A garden? A park? Let's ask Luna.

3. Luna looks

   Luna looks at the picture. She sees waves. She sees shells. She sees a beach umbrella. Now we know! Omar is at the beach. The picture told us the setting.
