*This class will never be canceled due to low enrollment as I will teach to one learner! During this class learners will listen to the African Folktale, Who's in Rabbit's House, retold by Verna Aardema. We will focus on one of the 7 keys to comprehension: Visualizing. I will begin the lesson by explaining what Visualizing is and how to use it as a self-checking strategy for understanding. As students listen to this very descriptive story, they will be prompted to tell what images they see in their mind and engage in dialogue about the story. Using their background knowledge and sensory images, students will choose one mental image to draw and share with the group. Please be aware that because dialogue is learner-dependent, we may run longer than the listed timeframe.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am a certified teacher with over 25 years of experience teaching elementary students. I have found such joy over the years sharing my love of children's literature, teaching literacy skills, and sharing dialogue with children about books. I teach students about different genres of literature, reading non-fiction text, and I also teach a series of lessons about the keys to reading comprehension. The hundreds of children with whom I have worked over the years have taught me that children learn most effectively when they are captivated by a topic, a teacher, or an activity. Children crave engagement and my goal is to provide that in my lessons.Reviews
