Today we did an activity to practice our Visualizing skills. As good readers, we know it is important to visualize as we read to better understand the story. This skill is especially important as we are moving into reading books with not pictures.
I read The Salamander Room by Anne Mazer. After establishing what a salamander is, I simply read the story and did not show the students the pictures. I stopped after each page and asked them to draw or add to their drawing what was happening in the story. It was very fun and interesting to see what each child drew and visualized. Ask you child what the story is about and how the author described the Salamander Room.
