Run Run as Fast as You Can--The Gingerbread Man!

Monday, December 5, 2016

Our Gingerbread Unit

 includes stories/texts

to develop 

several reading skills and strategies.


https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Gingerbread-Man-with-Closes-Shared-Reading-Literacy-Math-and-SACC-2896058

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!
Janice and Ann
 PS 
Buy , Buy as
fast as you can!
This unit is only $2.00
for a great lesson plan!
 This is a complete unit

Literacy and Math printables
