Text complexity: This text requires the reader to integrate information from text features (photographs and captions) to fully comprehend the text.

uses an index to tell readers where to find specific information in
the text. Looking at the index I notice a variety of planets listed

Set a purpose for reading: We are going to set a purpose or a reason for
reading. To do that we think about the preview, our predictions, and what we
are wondering about. This will help us to focus our reading brains as we read
and search for information.

Lets read to find out [base the purpose on the readers prediction].

We are going to read the first chapter on page 2: A Special Star. I can tell from
the title that we will be reading about about a star that isnt like any other star.
What do you notice at the bottom of the page? Yes, I also notice the
photograph and caption [read caption] at the bottom of the page. The author
uses these text features to give us more information.

(A) Lets read the first paragraph. Remember your purpose for reading based on
your prediction. We are searching for that information.
(B) Lets read the second paragraph. Remember your purpose for reading based
on your prediction. We are searching for that information.

But I am not sure what dazzles means. I will read around the word
to see if that helps me. The text says this star is so bright it dazzles
us before the word. I think that helps me. Dazzles might mean
something like blinds or to bright. So the star is so bright it can
blind you for a moment.

Now I want you to find one word to clarify. [Provide support.]
