Kindergarten+Emergent+Reading

The student will be able to …

 * 1) ====Identify why the main character takes specific actions across the story ====
 * 2) ====Sequence the events of the story in a retelling ====
 * 3) ====Demonstrate comprehension of the story through a drawing and sentence about a favorite part of the story. ====

**Anticipatory Set **
====I have one of my favorite books to share with you today. It reminds me of all my friends. We have great adventures. One time my friend and I took a trip to Mackinac City. It was very fun. ====


 * 1) ====Raise your hand if you have a best friend (call on 2-3 children to tell name of their best friend). ====
 * 2) ====Raise your hand if you have had a great adventure with one of your friends (call on 2-3 children to tell short tale – limit the time so kids stay interested) ====
 * 3) ====Has anyone’s best friend disappeared for a minute? How did you feel when you couldn’t find them (call on 2-3 students to limit time and keep interest) ====

**Before Reading **
====Look at the cover of the book. What do you notice? (Have children count the number of mummies on the cover) Read the title/author/illustrator (ask if children know what each does; explain if they do not) ====
 * 1) ====Read 2-3 facts on the end pages. ====
 * 2) ====Do a short picture walk through the first few pages of the book to elicit student predictions and questions about the story. ====
 * 3) ====Where are the mummies? Why are they there? What are predictions do you have for the story? ====
 * 4) ====Where are the mummies now? What are they doing? Why? ====
 * 5) ====What do you see the mummies doing now? How many are on the page? Why do you think this is? ====
 * 6) ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">What’s happening on this page? ====

**<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">During Reading **
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Begin reading and do not stop for further discussion on the pages previewed unless the text clarifies some of the predictions. Continue asking children to provide a few details on what they see on each page. ====

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">//Responding//

 * 1) ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Did the mummy adventures remind you of any of the adventures we talked about before we read the book? In which ways? ====
 * 2) ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">What questions did you wonder while reading the book? ====
 * 3) ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">What was your favorite part of the story (tell a buddy or call on 2-3 students to BRIEFLY tell)? ====

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">//Exploring//
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Let’s see if we can retell the story now (have students alternate telling one plot point at a time). If students cannot retell accurately, use the pictures to help them. Be sure that students accurately count backwards from 10 and get the correct sequence of events. ====

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">//Extending//
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">We are now going to draw a picture of your favorite part of the story. Let’s close our eyes and think of what our picture might look like. Who will be in the picture? Where will they be? What are they doing? ==== ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">After your picture is finished, we will write a sentence telling what is happening in your picture. If you need help writing your sentence, I will help you. ==== ====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Have the students share their pictures and sentences when they are finished. Have the students explain what their picture is of, and why they chose it. Also have the student read their sentence so everyone can see and hear it. ====

**<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Closure **
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">I’m going to put this book, //Ten Little Mummies,// in our reading corner for independent reading time. Are there any other books about adventures? Counting? Friends? ====

**<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Assessment **
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">As each student finishes their picture, I will look to see if they have drawn and written a sentence that accurately depict a scene in the story. I will be looking to see whether the action is correctly related, but if the correct number of mummies appears in the picture. I will also listen as each student retells their respective part of the story to see if they accurately depict characters’ actions and events. I will listen specifically for the correct order of events in the story and correct backwards counting. I will listen to sentence structure to see if the students retell the story using words from the book, or replaced words from their own speech. ====

**<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Adaptations for Diverse and/or Special Needs **
====<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Children who have difficulty hearing or listening will be placed near the teacher where they can see clearly and hear better. I will make eye contact with them frequently. For students with particular religious restrictions, I will be sure to stay within the restrictions of that religion. For students with behavior issues, I will be sure to place them near myself so they are not disturbing other children. For students who are less advanced in writing and spelling, encouragement will be given to try and write what they can, and the option for my help in writing the sentence in conventional spelling will be available. ====
