Week 2 Assignment

Prior to reading I ask leading questions to activate students' prior knowledge about the subject. I also ask predicting questions to see if we can make a connection as to what the book or story may be about. We also take a look at the vocabulary words before reading and see if can write a definition and compare after we have read the selection. I model appropriate reading rate, proper expressions and intonation. After we have read the selection we journal our story by drawing and coloring a picture about the story and write the vocabulary words with definitions.

As a kindergarten teacher, I like the fact that you have your students make predictions concerning the story. This is always an exciting time for me to see what predictions students will make. This is such an important skill.
