Volume 7 - October 3-7, 2022
Read It. Relate It.
After reading the story, the children and I ventured outside and enjoyed a picnic of our own. Though we didn't eat leafy greens (though it would have made a healthier food choice), we enjoyed alphabet cookies, juice, and gummy bears.
We read about a picnic and then we had a picnic of our own. When you read a story with your children, try to relate the story to something they know or something they can do with you. Relating the story helps with comprehension, information retention, and overall enjoyment of the book.
Next time you read a book, relate the book. You can ask a simple question: "What does this book remind you of?" Relating builds connections. Building connections helps develop strong readers.
Yours In Learning,
Lori Hamilton
