If we were still physically going to school, I would continue to read to my kindergarten ELL students a story every lesson. We would continue to be learning about the features of a story such as the characters, setting, plot, and the problem and solution. Before reading, we would look at the title and picture walk through the book and make our predictions about what will happen. After reading we would check our predictions and then do an activity. Children would be practicing their listening and speaking skills while developing more vocabulary.\u00a0 In Term 3, my plan was to read some fairy tales and fables.<\/p>\n
Your classroom teacher has prepared lots of amazing learning opportunities for child. If there is time after doing their assigned work, your child may like to listen to a fairy tale or fable and do an activity that helps with the sequencing of events and the retelling of a story. I have attached a page with 6 pictures.<\/p>\n
