Fantasy and Reality
Heather and her dog Remy went for a walk on a sunny day. Roy Rooster warned them a storm was approaching. A man from the zoo brought a snake named Sally to Tara's school. An ostrich complained about having a bad hair day. The passage discusses the difference between realistic and fantasy stories and asks the reader to identify examples of each in a paragraph. It also prompts turning realities into fantasies, such as skateboarding down the street, twinkling stars, and an erupting volcano.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Notes for trainer: Other statistics to consider sharing include: According to the 2009 Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) data, nearly one-third of the 3.7 million low-income children aged two to four years surveyed were obese or overweight, and 541,000 were obese. 1 of 7 low-income, preschool-aged children is obese. Some children are burdened more than others. American Indian and Alaska Native (20.7%) and Hispanic (17.9%) children aged 2 to 4 years have the highest rates of obesity.

- #4 Suggested talking points: Foods and beverages associated with obesity (i.e. foods and beverages that are high in fat and high in sugar) often lack important nutrients. Many nutrients are important for brain development and cognitive functioning.
- #6 Suggested talking points: Obesity is so concerning because obesity puts us at increased risk for many diseases and health problems. This is especially true for children because the younger you are when you become obese, and the longer you are obese, the greater your risks for having health problems.
- #7 Suggested talking points: The good news is: we CAN solve the obesity problem!
