In this ongoing class, students will explore short stories  through auditory and visual activities.  In this teacher led class, students will listen to a variety of short stories told by the teacher with the use of puppets and digital illustrations. The students will then engage in different activities such as:  interactive activities  to retell the story and games to practice the words in the story. Finally, students will practice their reading skills by reading a short version of the story as choral reading.  Short stories  are a wonderful ways to build reading skills and provide a student with an engaging learning atmosphere. Students will play  group games to assess their comprehension.   I  believe that when students are given the opportunity to explore and explain a subject in a fun and engaging way, they will be able to retain the information easier.
