 Kindergarten

GENERAL GOALS

  • To expose students to a variety of literature.

  • To introduce students to various authors and illustrators.

  • To correctly handle and care for books.

BOOK EXCHANGE

Kindergarten students choose one book each week

If your kindergarten student finishes his/her book before the week ends, they are welcome to exchange their book. (this depends upon their individual class schedule)

Reading with your kindergartener

Read each book at least three times

FIRST, look through the pictures in the book

SECOND, look through the pictures again and tell your own story to the pictures

FINALLY, Read the book and see how close the story in the book is to the story you made up

While reading with your kindergartener have them look for words/letters they know

When reading picture books pay close attention to how the words and pictures work together to tell the story (you may spend some time pointing these out then allow your kindergartener to point to items in the illustrations)
