Title: Press Here Author: Hervé Tullet
Remember Recalling facts and basic concepts. What color is the dot on the first page? How many times do you need to clap your hands to make the dots bigger?
Understand Explaining ideas or concepts. Why do you think pressing the yellow dot made the other dots grow? Can you describe what happened to the dots when you tilted the page?
Apply Using information in new situations. If you wanted to make the dots smaller, what could you do instead of shaking the page? How could you use colors and dots like this to create your own simple game?
Analyze Drawing connections among ideas How did shaking the book aƯect the size and number of dots on the page? What's the diƯerence between what happens when you press the dot and what happens when you tilt the book?
Evaluate Justifying a stand or decision Do you think this book is more fun to play with alone or with a friend? Why? What makes this book so special that people want to keep pressing the dots?
Create Producing new or original work Imagine you find a new button in the book. What do you think it would do? Can you invent a new action (like blowing on the dots) and draw what would happen next?
Adapting for Struggling Readers and Dyslexia Strategies: For struggling readers, I would use a consistent format for each panel, with the questions clearly separated and perhaps large font text. Instead of relying solely on reading, I'd encourage actions that mimic the book's interactivity. Support for Dyslexia: For a child with dyslexia, I would read the questions aloud and point to the corresponding elements on the page. For the "Create" level, they could draw their new button or action first, and then I could help them label it with single words or short phrases, focusing on phonetic sounds rather than perfect spelling. We could also use diƯerent colored markers to highlight key words in the questions.
