My students will be listening to me read aloud picture books while modeling the strategies of making connections and predictions, as well as asking questions, and monitoring problems and solutions. Students will be engaged in this process by whole group reading and partner talks. We will be creating anchor charts about each book we read and the skills we apply to our reading. Students will be able to refer to these anchor charts while applying the same strategies to their own reading. Donations to my Opening the Minds of Young Readers project will improve student learning by allowing me to interact with my students and our new books in a way that a text book just doesn't provide. Students need to see the strategies being used, not just told how to use them. By reading aloud to the class I will be able to stop, model, and check students' comprehension as we're reading. Having the students discuss, create anchor charts, and ask questions allows me to monitor their learning continuously.
