Activities

Using my 3-2-1 Reading Strategy, students will be less reliant on the teacher for comprehension and will be well on their way to comprehending longer text on their own.

Kindergarten Day is an idea from Susie Gross and it’s where the teacher reads a children’s picture book out loud to their students just like teachers do in elementary school.

PictureTalk is a great way to break up the monotony or jump-start a class story! You can use funny pictures or even cultural pictures to teach some culture!

Reflections are a great way to get kids thinking about their learning. And this metacognition can help students be more prepared for academic challenges.

PictureTalk is a great way to scaffold your story-asking until you are more comfortable with the process or as a fun activity to switch up and replace your story-asking every once in a while to keep things fresh!

MovieTalks are a great way to provide comprehensible input to your students. They scaffold the story-asking process for teachers and kids love them. Today I’ll talk about the 5 steps to a successful MovieTalk lesson that you can use in multiple levels.
