EDRG 3344.351 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

BLOG #2

I found that when a teacher can incorporate other activities with a book, the children will be even more intrigued with the story. When I become a teacher I will use the technique of pre/dur/post strategies. This may help children who might have a hard time with reading comprehension.
pre ideas:
Show the class the book you'll be reading
Ask them what they might think the book is about
Tell them what the book is about
Show some of the pictures
Make a book box
Ask questions that are similar to what the character might be going threw in the story.
Dur ideas:
Show pictures
Ask questions
Pass items around that have something to do with the story.
Make eye contact with students, make sure they are understanding the story
Post ideas:
Act the story out
Ask questions
Do in class activities
If the story had food in it, bring some for the children! (exp. Green Eggs and Ham)
Give test
Write a journal

A good teacher will make reading a blast for the children. By practicing these strategies students will be even more excited about the next story reading! These strategies help students by keeping them interested in the story and introducing them to new cultures.
