Hello, young explorers! 🌟 Today, we are going to embark on a thrilling adventure through the world of stories and comprehension. To kick things off, I have a special surprise for you—a Magic Story Box!
As the lesson begins, gently lift the lid of the Magic Story Box while the students sit in a circle around you. Inside, show them the colorful items and encourage them to guess which stories these items might represent. For example, if you pull out a toy dinosaur, they might connect it to a story about dinosaurs or adventures.
After some fun guessing, tell the class that each item is connected to a different story. Explain that today, we will be reading a story together and using our comprehension skills to understand it better. But first, they have to help you create a Story Map!
On the large piece of paper, draw a big map with spaces for:
Let the students brainstorm ideas either based on the items in the box or a story they already know. This will set the stage for a fun and engaging reading session!
Once the Story Map is ready, explain that after reading the story, they'll get to fill in the details and share their thoughts. This way, everyone understands that comprehension is like discovering a treasure hidden in the story. Are you ready to dive into this adventure? Let’s go!
This engaging start not only draws students' attention but also builds excitement about the topic while introducing them to essential comprehension skills in a creative way. Happy teaching! 📚✨
