Welcome to Our Reading Adventure!

Introduction to the Lesson

🌟 Exciting Day Ahead! 🌟

Hello, young explorers! Today, we’re setting off on a fantastic reading adventure! Are you ready to discover new stories and unlock the magic of understanding what we read?

Warm-Up Activity: Storytelling Circle

🪄 Storytime Surprise 🪄

Let's start our journey by gathering in a circle. Each of you will have a chance to share your favorite story! It can be a book you've read with your family, a story you've made up, or one of your favorite fairy tales.

Here’s how we’ll do it:

1. Take Turns: When it’s your turn, share the title of your story and one part that you love.
2. Ask Questions: After someone shares, we can all ask one question about their story to help us think more about it.

Why This is Fun!

This activity will help us get our brains warmed up for reading and build our exciting community of readers! It also helps us listen and think about stories, which is super important for reading comprehension.

Introducing Comprehension: What It Means

🌈 Understanding Stories 🌈

Before we dive into our reading, let’s talk about what comprehension means. Comprehension is all about understanding the stories we read. It's like being a detective—looking for clues and finding out what the characters are feeling, what might happen next, and what the lessons of the story are!

The Adventure Begins: Our First Story

📖 Let’s Read! 📖

Now that we’re warmed up, we’ll read a special story together. As we read, I want you to pay attention to the characters, the setting (where the story takes place), and what problem they face.

Reading Together

After reading, we will do an interactive activity where we will:

• Draw our favorite character: Show us who you loved from the story!
• Act it out: Let’s pretend to be the characters and act out a scene together!

Wrap-Up: What Did We Learn?

💭 Reflecting on Our Adventure 💭

At the end of our lesson, we will sit again in our circle and share:

• What was your favorite part of the story?
• One new thing you learned about the characters.
• How did the story make you feel?

We will also keep our drawing as a little reminder of our reading adventure today!

Remember: Reading is not just about words. It's about making connections and having fun! Can't wait to embark on this magical journey with all of you! 🌟
