Hey Scarecrow--You Can't Scare Me! Reading Ideas

Our Scarecrow Unit

 includes stories/texts

to develop 

several reading skills and strategies.

Close Reading

develops

Vocabulary and Comprehension skills

by having the kiddos

think about reading .

Often in kinder classes,

a Close Informational Reading 

is a group choral experience

with the teacher and the kiddos

thinking and talking 

together.  

 

A Close Literature Reading

is

an active listening experience

with

questioning and conversing,

the kiddos and the teacher
 enjoying a story

together.

Shared Reading

promotes

fluency and speed

with

expression and enjoyment

( We like how one teacher calls it

"miles for the tongue")

The text may be

predictable

with

engaging passages

Framed Writing books

allow the kiddos to 

create emergent readers

with predictable structure

and 

key vocabulary.

Popcorn books

provide the kiddos with

word support and pictures clues

to read books 

as well  develop 

writing and spelling vocabularies.

     Enjoy!
