Catch of the Day

Ed and his uncle have an exciting fishing day. Ed learns all about saltwater versus freshwater sources, and the habitat each provides for living creatures. Readers are introduced to different kinds of fish while watching Ed try his success with the lure and line. Every fish tale ends with a measurement, often exaggerated by fishermen, but for Ed, he measures his catch very precisely. This fiction text is paired with the nonfiction text Real Facts About Lakes for connecting across texts and comprehension through connection strategies.
