Reading
Concepts of Print Concepts of Print is very important. *Knowing where the front of the book and the
back of the book is located. *Making sure your child knows how to point to
the words in the left to right direction and where to go at the end of the line and where to start on the next page.
*One to one- pointing to the word while reading it.
*A kindergarten student will learn the difference between a letter, word, and sentence.
Story Elements *A kindergarten student will learn about
the title, author, and illustrator and where they are located.
*A kindergarten student will learn about the setting of a story (where the story takes place) and the characters in a story.
*A kindergarten student will learn the difference between a fiction and nonfiction story.
While Reading… As you read to your child, have them predict the
outcome of the story, make connections to the story, make up a new ending to the story, describe their favorite character, give examples of why they enjoyed the story or did not like the story, tell you about the context clues around the page (what do they see in the pictures?).
Let your child tell you about what happened in the beginning, middle and ending of the story. Have your child summarize the story. Have your child make a flow map retelling the events in the story (sequencing).
We are wanting our children to answer higher level thinking questions- analyze, summarize, determine, explain.
Writing about Reading Your child can write about characters in
their story, make up new endings, practice writing the title on their reading logs, find words that they know and write them down, make up their own story.
