한 장만 더!- 1000장 챌린지 북클럽

In this ongoing class, the students will listen to a fiction stories read aloud while working towards a goal of reading 1000 chapters over the course of the year. As you may know, reading aloud is the key to creating a lifelong reader. The language that learners are exposed to in literature is rich with vocabulary, complete sentences, and is often more complicated and more sophisticated than oral language. Reading aloud to learners will increase a child's attention span and increases a child's appetite for reading.  

The stories will be read with fluency and expression with chances for the students to interact with the text and make predictions about what will happen next. We will talk about the author and illustrator. We will identify the parts of the book including the front cover, back cover, spine, and title page. We will discuss reading the words as well as reading the pictures to gain a better understanding. The students will learn why it is important to retell a story in the correct order including the beginning, middle, and end; identify key characters, and the setting of the book.  They will apply reading comprehension skills as they are relevant to each story including: making predictions, asking questions, retelling the story, drawing connections to the text, visualizing the story, drawing conclusions, and synthesizing the information.  Each class will feature a new fiction story so students are welcome to join the class at any time.  

Each class will following structure:
Greeting
Interactive Read Aloud
Comprehension Questions
Retelling Strategies
Wrap-up and Goodbye
