In this exemplar video, a teacher models appropriate use and care of a book in the library center. Notice how the teacher physically demonstrates where to grasp a single page and how to turn it while saying, “Can you grab it right here, like this, and turn the page?” She also reminds the child to handle the book gently by saying, “Careful, okay, we have to do it softly”—an example of modeling appropriate use and care of materials.
