あなたと私と本！チキン・リトル、6～8歳（1年生/2年生）向けの共有読書

Shared Reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a book or other text while guided and supported by a teacher. Shared Reading supports a balanced literacy instructional approach and allows students to enjoy materials that they may not be able to read on their own. Through modelling and class discussion, students will become better readers. 
 
In this class students will:
       - Learn the skills of proficient readers, including reading with fluency and expression. 
       - Learn close reading, text-dependent questioning, and strategies for asking and answering questions with each shared book. 
       - Build foundational skills important for early readers, including print concepts and reading strategies.
       - Develop literary skills including, vocabulary, phonics, and comprehension.

      The lessons will model for even the youngest learners how to read text more closely. Students will participate in a variety of tasks that allow them to practice citing evidence in support of their answers. After observing the teacher modelling the reading skills, students will have an opportunity to practice them independently.
 
    This class uses the book "Chicken Little". "Poor Chicken Little-she thinks the sky is falling. Off to tell the king she goes, collecting friends along the way who share her concern. Finally, Foxy Loxy points out that what she thought was a piece of the sky is really only an acorn. Back home she goes, along with her silly friends." from Reading A-to-Z website.

Students will also learn skills such as: 
     - Comparing and contrasting, Main idea and details, Making predictions, Text-to-text connections, Text Features: Analyze photographs, illustrations and captions
     - Adjectives, Book vocabulary, similes

    The shared reading lesson uses Reading A to Z's shared reading books and lessons. This research-based leveled reading resource is very engaging and is used at developmentally appropriate levels.  The book will be projected into the classroom for easy viewing by all students.
