TEACHING and LEARNING MODELLED READING

Discuss the illustrations on the front and back cover to predict the story. Use the predicting strategy with Predict-o-Gram using words from the front cover to create a story. (See following page) Focus on nouns singular and plural of the Predict-oGram words you have chosen Read blurb and activate prior knowledge through discussion and their understanding of the concept mirror. Read one story, e.g. boy from Australia, (one double page at a time) and construct narrative using graphic organizer So Far Next(predictions).

Summarising Predicting Making Connections
TEACHING IDEAS PREDICT-O-GRAM Purpose: To make predictions about a story using narrative elements; to introduce vocabulary. Comprehension Strategies: Previewing, Summarising Text: Narrative Use: Before and After Reading (revisit) Procedure: (Begin by explaining and demonstrating Predict-o-Grams.) 1. Select vocabulary from the story to stimulate predictions. Vocabulary should represent the story elements: characters, setting, problem, action, solution. 2. Ask students to work with partners to decide which story element the word tells about and write each word on the Predict-o-Gram in the appropriate place. 3. Introduce the story and invite students to read it. 4. Revisit the original predictions with students and make changes as necessary. Use the resulting information to summarize or retell the story.

Same/Different concept- create a word bank Read through the first few pages using both stories and have students identify and list things that are the same or different on the Smartboard. Students have photocopy of pages from different stories and share with thinking partners what is the same and different. Use a graphic organizer.

TEACHING IDEAS FOR VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE
Prepare game packs with two-column sheets on which a focus word is written and a set of synonym and antonym cards for that word, e.g. see below. Students work in pairs to turn over a card, read the word and try to place it in the synonym or antonym column. They can use a dictionary and a thesaurus as they work. As a variation, leave some blank cards for students to add their own words by searching the thesaurus. big Synonyms (similar) Antonyms (opposite)
