Room on the Broom Lesson Ideas: Close Reading
Room on the Broom is such a fun, non-spooky Halloween story! In our Engaging Reader lessons, we spend the entire week with the book. Each day, we have a different comprehension focus.
- Monday: Making Predictions
- Tuesday: Text Details
- Wednesday: Character Study
- Thursday: Inferring
- Friday: Opinion Writing
Here is a glimpse at a few of the students at work.
In kindergarten, we love seeing the illustrations students use to convey meaning. We are not concerned about their transcribing skills. We dedicate plenty of time during our Science of Reading direct instruction time to dictation and writing. During our Engaging Readers time, we are interested in capturing the students’ thinking skills that surround the book… in this case, Room on the Boom.
