To create excitement and set the stage for a year of reading exploration!
Create the Map: Begin by drawing a large treasure map on chart paper or the whiteboard. This map will represent different “landmarks” related to reading. Label them as follows:
Group Discussion: Gather the students in a circle and show them the reading map. Ask questions like:
Sticker Exploration: Give each student a sticker to place on the part of the map that represents their favorite type of reading. For example, if they love adventure stories, they will stick their sticker on "Adventure Valley."
Sharing Time: After everyone has placed their stickers, invite students to share why they chose that particular landmark. This will foster a sense of community and help them learn about each other’s interests.
The Year of Adventures: Conclude the activity by telling students that this year, they will embark on a reading adventure together. Explain that throughout the year, they will explore each part of the map through various books, activities, and projects.
As students settle into their seats, remind them that every book is a new adventure waiting to happen. Get ready to read and explore the magical world of stories this year!
This engaging introduction will excite students about the reading journey ahead, inspire them to share their interests, and foster a supportive classroom environment.
