Today, we're going to begin our exciting journey of learning how to read and answer questions about stories. Get ready to become super readers!
Preparation: Before the class, gather several small objects or pictures that represent different stories. These could be items like a toy dinosaur, a small teddy bear, a picture of a space rocket, or a miniature castle.
Introduction: Start the lesson by placing a mystery box or bag in front of the students. Tell them that inside the box are some magic items from stories that will help us learn about reading.
Engagement: Invite a volunteer to come up and pick one item from the box. Let’s say they choose the toy dinosaur. Ask them questions like:
Discussion: Encourage classmates to share their ideas. Their answers will help guide the storytelling theme for the day. You can then explain that reading books helps us discover amazing stories about many things, including dinosaurs, space, and adventures!
Transition: Now that they’re excited about stories, tell them we will be reading a short story together today. After reading, we will answer some fun questions about it. Remind them that questions are like treasure maps that help us find important parts of the story!
By starting with the Story Discovery Box, we linked tangible items to the magic of reading, igniting students' curiosity. This interactive approach sets a positive tone for the lesson, promoting engagement and welcoming them into the world of books!
Let’s open our storybook and find out what new adventures await us! 📚✨
