Responding to Reading

Students are also currently working on a writing piece based on our class read aloud novel "The Giver." This Utopian community has many aspects very similar to our own society, yet other aspects that are drastically different. The students were asked to choose and explain an aspect of the Community which they 'like' and one which they 'don't like.'
For all responses to reading, students need to be sure they 1) answer the questions asked, 2) use proof from the text to support their responses, and 3) extend their thinking, using connections for example.
Help your children develop their comprehension by asking questions of them that help them dig deeper into the meaning of their text (e.g., thematic questions, character traits and motivations, predictions based on evidence, questions they hope will be answered by reading further, etc.)
I am happy to support parents and students however I can in developing stronger reading strategies to improve comprehension. Just ask!
