読書サークルタイム！

This class is designed to help your child understand how to use pictures to help them understand the story, listen to the reader, and discuss with other students what they learned! Each class meets 2 times a week and will give your child the core foundations needed to read. 
You can expect each class to go as follows: 
Introduction to each other
Introduce the book to the reader (look at the book, make predictions about what it might be about)
Identify the author and Illustrator
Listen to and answer questions about the book (make more predictions, and look at the pictures to help us)
Discuss the book (did we predict correctly, what was your favorite part)
Do art or simple writing activity to finish the lesson

Depending on the length of the book activities may occur during the second meeting time.
