SO, WHERE TO BEGIN? NOW TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC BOOKS

Talk about books first. Whether at home or in a You do not want your young reader to have classroom we cannot take it for granted that a her first reading experience be frustrating, so a child knows all about what a book is! Give your general rule of thumb is if a child is unable to reader, or everyone in a small group, a book and read five words on a given page, it is likely too talk about books in general: difficult for independent reading.

These do not need to be counted in the five-finger rating of books.

HOW CAN YOU KNOW IF YOUR CHILD IS UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS BEING READ? It is very important for young readers to connect with what they are reading. Can they relate to what the story is about? Does it have anything to do with the world around them? Are there ideas in one book that are similar to another they have read? One way to get students reading thoughtfully is to have before, during, and after reading questions. This type of activity works for both fiction and nonfiction and when working with one child at home or in a larger group in a classroom. The questions below can be tweaked to work for either genre.

BEFORE READING Build background knowledge and set purpose—talk about the book.

What does the cover illustration tell us about what we are going to read? Who are the author and illustrator? What are their roles? What kind of book is this? Fiction? Nonfiction? How do you know?

What can we learn from fiction and nonfiction texts? Zenz © Aaron illustrations Howie Preview new vocabulary. What are some strategies you can use to figure out a word you do not know? What do you already know about ______? What do you think is going to happen? (Check predictions as you read.)

SET A PURPOSE FOR READING

Can you look at the pictures and predict what you think will happen in this book? What makes you think that? What characters do you think might be in our story? Do you think there will be a problem in this story? Why or why not? Does the topic/story relate to you or your family? How?
