As your child reads stories at home each evening, please focus on the following with your child:
-character descriptions
-setting (when and where)
-main topic (what is the book mostly about?)
-events in sequential order with many details (this can be a challenging concept for many first grade students) Students can look back in the book to help them retell the events.
-making a connection to the main topic (What does the book remind you of?) In class we have been talking about making connections to things we have seen or done in real life. We have also discussed how connections can be something we have seen on tv or read about in another book.
-problem and solution (if applicable to the book)
