READ ALOUD-MOVIE COMPARISONS

Venn Diagrams are often used to illustrate simple relationships, rather to help students make connections. By choosing a read aloud that has an accompanying movie, you can provide a fun way for students to make connections between books (text) and movies (world). For printing, make sure to use legal-sized paper.

METACOGNITION DIARIES

"Metacognition Diaries" are excellent tools when children are learning and developing the comprehension strategies. Provide them with a "diary" for the particular book you are reading. While you are reading to them, children draw and write their mental images, connections, questions, and inferences. This is especially beneficial when text complexity increases. Children can look back at previous chapters and recall important imagery to help them comprehend in a way that is meaningful to them! Keep checking back for more Metacognition Diaries that will be added frequently!
