06:16.900 --> 06:17.900 Angie? 06:17.900 --> 06:20.500 Try to guess what the story is about. 06:20.500 --> 06:21.500 Good. 06:21.500 --> 06:22.500 How do we do that? 06:22.500 --> 06:28.380 By working at the picture on the cover, reading the title, and thinking about them. 06:28.380 --> 06:29.380 Very good. 06:29.460 --> 06:33.500 Now, who can tell us what they think this story is going to be about? 06:33.500 --> 06:35.140 Jason? 06:35.140 --> 06:40.700 I think this is about a boy who spends the night at a friend's house because it fits 06:40.700 --> 06:42.380 the title and the picture. 06:42.380 --> 06:43.380 Do you all agree? 06:43.380 --> 06:44.380 Yes, Angie. 06:44.380 --> 06:48.300 There's something else I do before starting to read. 06:48.300 --> 06:49.300 What's that? 06:49.300 --> 06:53.700 I think of what I already know about what it's like sleeping over at a friend. 06:53.700 --> 06:57.180 Then I'll understand the story better when I read it. 06:57.260 --> 06:58.340 Very good. 06:58.340 --> 07:01.620 We think before we read, don't we? 07:17.340 --> 07:19.260 Yes, Norbert? 07:19.260 --> 07:21.900 I don't just think before I read a story. 07:21.900 --> 07:24.300 I keep thinking the whole time. 07:24.300 --> 07:25.820 Good for you, Norbert. 07:25.820 --> 07:27.820 It's very important, too. 07:41.820 --> 07:46.860 Norbert, can you show us how you keep thinking while you're reading? 07:46.860 --> 07:51.660 Well, look on page 13 here. 07:51.660 --> 07:54.940 It says, we were having a great pillow fight. 07:54.940 --> 07:59.140 All of a sudden, my pillow slid out of its case and flew across the room. 07:59.140 --> 08:01.820 It headed for the lamp like a heat-seeking missile. 08:01.820 --> 08:02.820 Crash! 08:02.820 --> 08:04.820 Uh-oh, said Zachary. 08:04.820 --> 08:06.740 Then there was a loud knock at the door. 08:06.740 --> 08:12.180 Now, if I was reading this story, I would stop here and try to predict what would happen 08:12.180 --> 08:13.180 next. 08:13.180 --> 08:17.980 Like, they were having a pillow fight, and they knocked the lamp over. 08:17.980 --> 08:21.100 How do you know they knocked the lamp over? 08:21.100 --> 08:23.180 I don't see that written anywhere. 08:24.180 --> 08:33.580 Well, it says it flew towards the lamp, and then it says, Crash, and you can see it in 08:33.580 --> 08:34.580 the picture. 08:34.580 --> 08:36.820 Well, good for you, Norbert. 08:36.820 --> 08:39.380 What do you think will happen next? 08:39.380 --> 08:43.660 So anyway, the parents probably heard it, and the loud knock at the door is probably one 08:43.660 --> 08:45.900 of them coming to see what's going on. 08:45.900 --> 08:48.420 That's what would happen at my house. 08:48.420 --> 08:49.420 Let's find out. 08:49.420 --> 08:52.180 Angie, will you read for us?
