Hannah examined how when she was younger they did have a pet bird. Hannah made predications of this story based on the pictures and the title. She predicted that the story was about a bird, which was lost and then someone found it and cared for it, because of the image of a bird in the hands of a person. When Hannah makes predications I get her to elaborate on her answers by asking why and to back up her predications with evidence, to deeper her comprehension of the text.

Hannah claimed she was shocked to find out that kids approached an injured bird and picked it up because she would have gone for help first. Also, that she would want to know if the bird lives in the end. Hannah demonstrated an understanding of the story responding to questions after reading the text, as she was able to figure out the author’s purpose in writing this story which she stated was to show how caring people can help injured animals. Hannah’s understanding of the material enables her to draw similarities and differences that occurred in the beginning, middle and the end, as well as by identifying the “moral” of the story.
