Differentiation for Students
- Teachers may wish to have Spanish copies of the shared reading books.
- Books can be kept in an area accessible to students for independent and familiar rereading by students.
- Ask students to write their own similar story using the same theme or sentence/language pattern of the book that has been shared.
- Teachers can use sentence strips and have students can retell or build the story by putting the strips in order.
- Have students write their predictions based upon what would happen next if the story were to continue.

Shared Reading in Content Subjects
Literacy -
Students and the class will begin reading the book The Tree that Time Built by Mary Ann Hoberman and Linda Winston. They will be asking questions about the story and be retelling the story with classmates after reading it as a whole class. This is important for their fluency and creates a fun and safe environment to foster the love of reading within students. |
Social Studies -
After reading the book Map It by Elspeth Leacock, the students create a venn diagram looking at two different pictures or maps in the book. The students compare and contrast maps. Doing this creates a deeper comprehension and connection to the text. Students discuss why the pictures are the way they are. |
Science -
The class will read the story, See Inside Inventions by Alex Frith and Colin King. They will look at the inventions listed within the story and then with a partner, come up with a rough draft of a new invention. This activity deepens the connections to the story. The students have to reread the story to make sure their invention covers the major topics, which aids in their fluency in reading. |
