Storytime with Siblings! (Maples Elementary)

Monday, June 1, 2020

Greetings Maples Family!

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine! It is officially June and our kiddos are ready for summer vacation. However, we need to encourage our kids to read daily EVEN during summer vacation in order to keep their minds intrigued and challenged. This week’s assignment prepares them for some summer reading with family members. My students are used to me reading to them but this week I challenge them to read to others.

Here’s the challenge:

Choose a book of your choice.

Choose a younger/older sibling or parent to read to.

Stop mid story and ask your audience some questions to make sure they are understanding/listening

Stop and discuss the pictures/ characters/ events in the book.

When your child is done, have them write a few sentences about their experience reading to someone else. Did you enjoy it? Was it difficult? How did the other person react to your reading? This can be sent to me through dojo or email.

The goal of this assignment is to encourage our kiddos to LOVE and ENJOY reading whether they are doing it alone or with others. The more practice they get reading to an audience, the more proficient them become in public speaking/reading 🙂
