Elicit the answer and ask children to point to the sprout shown in the photo. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Have children work in pairs. One child reads aloud the lines of text while the other child acts out the scene. Then pairs switch roles. Encourage children to be expressive and demonstrate understanding of the content through their actions. Amplify Home-School connection Ask children to plant seeds at home, following the information they have learned in the article. Ask them to keep a journal of their plant’s progress, writing down the date and each milestone the plant passes; for example, March 13: I see a sprout. A little plant grows out of the ground. It is a sprout. The sprout needs sunlight. It needs air. It needs water. It grows and grows.
