Using a variety of children's books, your child has been working on the comprehension strategy: Make a Picture or Mental Image. This strategy is an excellent strategy for readers to use when recalling details in a text. Making a picture or mental image helps readers understand what they are reading by creating images in their mind based on details within the text and through prior knowledge. One of our classroom favorites for this strategy is using whiteboards to sketch several scenes from within a book. Ask your child to retell you some of their favorite parts from the following stories read aloud this week:
- Zoom Broom
- Alexander, Who's Not (Do you hear me? I Mean it!) Going to Move
- Stephanie's Ponytail
