First graders skimmed alphabet books to learn more about getting the "gist" of a book before reading and to think about alphabetical order. This is what they noticed about the different books they skimmed:
"There was a book about Egypt. There was an uppercase and lowercase letter on each page and a couple of things that started with that letter." (ABC : Egyptian Art from the Brooklyn Museum)
"Me and Colin were reading a dinosaur book and there were different dinosaurs. Each dinosaur started with a different letter in order and they all had different names." (The Dinosaur Alphabet Book)
"One of the books had this little cat and we saw these different crazy boxes that this cat was looking at and they had words in them and they were in alphabetical order, and the cat was saying these crazy things like he liked them or didn't like them." ("Check out Bad Kitty!")
"There was a book that was about fishes underwater. They were lined up in alphabetical order. Most of the fish were crazy because most of them were different and I was able to learn names of new fish that started with the same letter as other fish that I know." (The Underwater Alphabet Book)
"In a book there was lots of people with jobs and they were all lined up in alphabetical order." (ABC of Jobs)
"There was a letter and a picture of what word you could make with that letter in most of the books."
