Ø Turn the pages in the book so students can see the pictures. Model how you use the pictures and your previous experience in getting dressed to predict what the boy might put on next.

Then model confirming or revising your prediction as you turn the page to

check the illustration.

Ø Ask two students wearing different types of clothing to stand in front of the group (girl in skirt/blouse or dress, boy in shirt/pants or shorts). Tell students that even though what the boy and girl are wearing are different, they all belong to a big group called "clothes."

Ø Discussion: Ask students if it makes a difference in what order the boy puts on his clothes. Help them see that it doesn't matter whether the boy puts his shirt, pants, or socks on first, but he does need to have his pants and socks on before putting on his shoes.
