Today, we are going to embark on a magical reading adventure! We'll discover how stories can take us to incredible places, introduce us to amazing characters, and teach us wonderful lessons.
Begin the lesson by introducing the Story Jar. Explain that each piece of colorful paper in the jar holds a special word or phrase related to different stories and characters.
Ask the students to come up to the jar one by one and draw a piece of paper. After they draw, they should read aloud what is written on their paper. Possible words or phrases include:
As each student reads their word or phrase, engage the class in discussion. Ask questions like:
Encourage the children to elaborate on their ideas. This step not only activates their imagination but also sparks excitement about reading.
Now that the students have their imaginations warmed up, explain that each of these words connects to fun and exciting stories waiting to be read. Introduce the book of the day that relates to one of the words drawn from the jar.
Reinforce that reading opens doors to countless adventures and that today's lesson will be a stepping stone in their journey as readers.
With the anticipation building, invite the students to settle down as you begin reading the chosen story together. Let the adventure of reading unfold!
