TITLE
Preparing to Read Crocs & Gators
Crocs & Gators (Levels 13–18) explores the appearance, habitat, and behaviour of alligators and crocodiles.
Never Smile at a Crocodile (Student Book, page 4)
Begin exploring the theme by talking about the poster. Discuss with the children
why they think someone should “never smile at a crocodile”.

Good Morning, Mr Croco-doco-dile
(Student Book, page 6)
Preparing to Read the Text
A Conversation about the Selection
Ask the children what they might say to a crocodile if they had a chance to talk
to one. What questions might they ask? What stories might they tell the
crocodile? Brainstorm a list of animals who might say, “Good morning,
Mr Croco-doco-dile.”
• Asking questions
Moving into the Selection
The poem “Good Morning, Mr Croco-doco-dile” offers the children some
invented language by rhyming the syllable “doco” in a variety of ways (e.g. doco/
smoco/woco). Play a game with the children where they add different consonant
sounds to “doco”. To begin, the children can suggest using the beginning
consonants of their first or last names (e.g. Larry/loco). Some children’s names
might have a diphthong consonant combination and these can be offered
(e.g. Gwen/gwoco).
Invitation to the Reader
Introduce the selection by telling the children that this is a rhyming poem that
is a conversation between a crocodile and a bird. Show the first page of the
selection to the children and demonstrate how some syllables are written in large
font. These syllables are nonsense rhymes. The children can practise reading these
syllables aloud. The children can brainstorm nonsense words that rhyme with the
word “doco”. Then, they can practise saying the words “croco-doco-dile,”
“croco-smoco-smile” and “croco-woco”.

Reading the Text
• Guiding the reading
Day One: Accessing the Text
Because of the invented language in this poem, the children might need to hear it
read aloud, and participate in shared reading sessions in order to become familiar
with the vocabulary and the rhythm of the poem. Repeated readings out loud will
provide children with easier access to this text.
Read aloud the first verse on page seven. The children are not looking at the text
at this point. Again, read aloud the first verse on page seven. The children follow
in their books by finger pointing as they hear the words. Next, the children can
join in and read the poem along with the teacher.
Repeat the activity, reading each of the lines alternately. The teacher reads the first
line and third, and the children read the second and fourth lines. Repeat the
activity, switching roles.
• Recognising genres
The children can discuss how they know this is a poem. Have them identify the
rhyme pairs in this poem. Record these on a chart.
oldprint kids Teacher Resource
The teacher reads the rest of the poem aloud to the children. The children can
discuss the story. Who is talking? What kinds of things is this animal saying to
the crocodile? What happens to the bird?
• Reading independently
The children can work with a partner to mumble read through this poem.
• Identifying text features
Phonics: Making and Breaking Words
Write the word “crocodile” on a chart. The children can identify the number of
syllables in this word. They can join in and clap as they say each syllable.
Repeat this activity with some of the invented words (e.g. croco-TOCO-tail;
croco-HOCO-head).
Day Two: Revisiting the Text
Read the poem aloud to the children. They can follow along pointing to the
words.
s
• Guiding the reading

ge
Focus on the second verse of this poem on page eight. The children can join in
and say some of the words. Use a cloze technique by omitting the last syllable on
the second and fourth lines of the verse (e.g. “to your croc-HOCO- … (head)”
and “As if you’re croc-DOCO … (dead)”).
The activity can be repeated with the children joining in and reading the bold
print words (e.g. TOCO, HOCO, STOCO, DOCO).
e
The children read the poem in unison.
Sa
m
pl
Different children can each be assigned one line of the poem to read.
Repeat the activity, encouraging the children to use different voices. How might
the bird talk to the crocodile (e.g. cheerfully, quietly, nervously)?
The above activities can be repeated by focusing on another verse (or verses).
• Building vocabulary
Phonics: Making and Breaking Words
The children can identify things that the bird notices about the crocodile. Have
them locate the parts of a crocodile’s body that are mentioned (e.g. tail, head, claw,
snout, jaw, eye). List these words on a chart as the children identify them. These
words can be written on cards. The children can arrange the words in
alphabetical order.
Choose one of these words to focus on. Demonstrate how new words are made
by changing the initial consonant. You might wish to use magnetic letters or letter
tiles (tail/pail/sail/rail/nail/fail). As an extension, you might demonstrate other
words with the same vowel pattern (e.g. train, chain, gain, rain).
