US Grade Kindergarten - 3
During this class, students will listen to a popular children's picture book being ready. While the book is read, basic vocabulary questions will be asked. Additionally through the book reading we will focus on basic factual and retelling questions. After the book is finished being read, the teacher will guide the students through a literary discussion. This will include higher order thinking questions that will focus on inference, evaluation, and appreciation. At the conclusion of the book and discussion, students will be invited to offer their final overall thoughts on the book with the class.

At the end of this class, students will have demonstrated listening skills. They will also actively participate in discussion allowing them to demonstrate comprehension of the story in a variety of ways.

We will be reading the book The Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk. The children do not need their own copy of the book, however if they would like to purchase their own copy or borrow from the library, it is helpful for some children to follow along as the story is read depending on their individual reading level.
