Hello, friends! Six weeks into the school year, we have hit the ground running and read-aloud has quickly become one of our favorite moments of the day. Today I wanted to share about one of my favorite books for teaching and modeling Making Predictions as a reading strategy – Duck on a Bike by David Shannon. Last week...
Learn how to teach making predictions to help your students develop strong reading comprehension skills with these three favorite read alouds.

We, as teachers, are always stopping while reading to ask students what is going to happen next. We want students to be able to stop and monitor their understanding of the text. This will, in turn, help with their comprehension of the story. I wanted to stop in today to share some new resources I am using in my classroom to help students with this strategy. I always like to start by introducing the strategy of the week with an anchor chart. Did you know you can print poster-size anchor charts from Adobe??!! This anchor chart is in my Making Predictions Pack, along with the directions on how to print posters from home or school. I also print mini-anchor charts for my students to put in their reading journals. We, together, create our anchor chart for the week. I usually use a read aloud as an example to add to our anchor chart so that I can model using the strategy. Students complete their own little anchor charts with me. This, my friends, is such a powerful tool for my students to anchor their thinking and take ownership of our anchor charts. :) I also have this little poster I hang as a reminder during read to self and partner for students. Students can be very apprehensive about making predictions. We know that they do not want to guess the wrong prediction, so it's important to have that conversation with them that it's okay to not always be right. We want them to feel comfortable using clues from the text to make their best predictions, along with their schema. Sometimes it's fun to be surprised by the author! I know that this book is perfect for encouraging students to make predictions in that safe environment. Enemy Pie by Derek Munson is a darling book that not only is perfect for practicing the strategy of making predictions, but it also teaches the importance of kindness. I like to stop during the reading and ask students what they think is in Enemy Pie? Do you think he's really going to give it to his enemy? I have students record their prediction on top of the pie in the craft below. You may want them to write their prediction with a pen, marker, or crayon, because they often want to change their prediction after finding out what actually happened. ;) After reading, they record what was actually in the pie underneath the flap. It's such a cute story and fun little craft that your students will love! At the end of the lesson, I showed this Pixar clip of Ormie the Pig. I stopped at 2:38 and asked students to predict whether or not Ormie was going to get the cookies this time. I gave them the option of a picture or words. They recorded their prediction on an exit ticket and placed it in the Prediction Pail. I found this idea at Kindergarten Boom Boom. It was just adorable and super fun! You can click the image below for this freebie label for you and your teammates. These are the exit tickets I used throughout the week. I switched it up each day and we threw them in the prediction pail or clipped on our round up clips. I also have students participate in a cooperative group activity. If time is an issue for you, you could have them do this during small group instruction or even during centers. It would also be a great early finisher activity students could easily grab and work on. I create 3 or 4 case files like the one below and fill each with graphic organizers and a book or passage. Students read the book or passage inside and complete the graphic organizer together. The first time I do this unit, I like to use all picture books. When I do this unit again, I might vary it with other books and passages. The great thing about my predictions pack is that you can use it over and over throughout the year. There are too many activities to fit in one week. I like to give them a page to stop at with a prediction question in the file. It gives them a purpose and keeps them focused. It's the "CASE" they have to solve! After reading, they record what actually happened. I also use this graphic organizer all throughout the week. I love to stick them in a Smart Pal to reuse again and again. Another day, just to switch it up, we used this interactive notebook template to record predictions about If You Took a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff. The following day, we read If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff focusing a little bit more on the clues students use from the text or illustrations to make predictions. These little mini-booklets are great to throw in a Read to Self tub for students to practice the strategy independently. And finally, my littles LOVE bookmarks! Like, can't get enough! These will help them remember to stop and predict while reading independently. You can check out this unit by clicking the images below. You can also check out my Interactive Anchor Charts below if you think that is something that might benefit you. It makes it much easier for me to have my anchor charts ready to print and go each week. Thanks for stopping by, friends! Have a great break!

Our state (Tennessee) is moving to the Interactive Read Aloud model as a component of our ELA instruction very soon. I have been using them for the past two years in kindergarten and first grade. I love that you can cover so many standards within each lesson, and I LOVE introducing my students to such quality literature at the same time! At first, I was concerned that students would grow tired of hearing the same text over and over, but it was just the opposite. (Plus, you don't read the whole text everyday.) Students became so engaged and attached to the books I used, that they wanted to hear them over and over again. They even wanted to borrow them during independent reading time. If you asked them for their favorite book titles, it was inevitably one of the books they heard during the interactive read aloud. I felt like I wasn't going deep enough in my read aloud instruction, so this summer, I read lots of research and decided to start creating my own. It's a huge task, but I am loving it! I feel like it has given me a greater grasp on choosing complex text and making sure I cover all the things that my first graders need to be successful readers. The purpose of this post is to take you through what an interactive read aloud lesson looks like and what it looks like over the span of the week. I always like to see what it looks like in other teachers' classrooms, so here we go into mine! And I know that creating interactive read aloud lessons is very time consuming. That's why I have created this series of lessons. Hopefully, they will save you lots of time and energy that you can then use to teach your little ones. Tennessee now uses the TN Ready standards rather than Common Core, but they are almost identical. I included both sets of standards within each month's pacing guides, along with a summary of the main skills or strategies covered with each read aloud. Not only are we expected to teach the Literature and Informational text standards, but we also have to cover the speaking and listening standards, as well as the vocabulary acquisition standards. I included a checklist of those standards, along with student grade sheets for both TN Ready and Common Core. Each unit includes posters for the skills and strategies covered. I have a reading bulletin board in my room where I hang these for the strategies covered that day. I keep the rest close by, so that they can easily be changed out when needed. I also have a mini-pocket chart where I store the vocabulary cards for the week. (A vocabulary instruction card is included that shows you the specific steps to take to teach each vocabulary word." And, of course, I had to include some interactive anchor charts! I show you how to print them as posters in Adobe. We complete these together to make them interactive. I print the weekly lesson plans the week prior to that read aloud. I like to print on Astrobrights so that I can do a different color for each day. I also print the questions that I ask during reading on sticky notes to match the color of the plans. This way, I am not having to refer to that piece of paper for my questions. I can just use my sticky note! The questions included for each day hit all of Bloom's Taxonomy's levels. The questions also progress each day from covering Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, and finally, Integration of Knowledge and Ideas. You don't want to focus on solely one strategy during a read aloud. I might refer to one heavily, but I am hitting lots of others, too. At the end of the week, I give an assessment that assesses that skill I focused on more heavily than the others and include it at the top. Let's break down what a lesson looks like for one day. I always start with something that gets their attention! It might be a song related to our theme for the week. I might do a little activity related to the strategies or skills we are practicing that day, like the inferencing bag below. It's always something to get everyone excited and engaged! We then do our I can statement and cover or review our vocabulary for the week. I include in the unit the steps I take to teach the vocabulary. Vocabulary is a crucial component of the read aloud, so it's important that you hit it each day. We then move into the actual read aloud. On day one, you do not want to stop very much. I usually have students make predictions or visualize. They really want to just hear the story at that point. But on other days, there is lots of questioning, partner talk, and think alouds during reading. After reading, students always respond in their journal. I use this time to assess their understanding of the standard and to incorporate some language instruction. It also gives me insight into how they are interpreting the text. (It's very easy to differentiate during this component, which I love.) I usually have them write independently. Afterwards, we get with a partner and share our thoughts. They discuss what is the same and what is different. Lots of higher order thinking going on! Afterwards, we wrap up our lesson and discuss what we did that day. We also talk about what tomorrow's read aloud will look like. Finally, we finish up with an exit ticket. Usually, I have it displayed on my PowerPoint and they respond on a sticky note or a whiteboard. Nothing fancy! Friday, or the last day, of the unit looks a little different, since we take the assessment. I also always include something fun to do related to the theme. It might include a craft, an art piece, a STEM challenge, or a science experiment. Of course, you don't have to do that on Friday. You could include it on any day of the read aloud. I am still working on a storage plan. So far, I am organizing in binders. But I may move to clear file storage bins. I am knee deep in MISSION ORGANIZATION! Lol! August Interactive Read Aloud Lessons are posted! September will be posted by July 31st. I will always try to have each unit posted one month before it is needed. I will also post it on sale for a short time, so be sure to follow my store and Instagram so that you can a notification as soon as it is posted! I hope these help with your read aloud instruction and make this a favorite part of your day!

After they've read the book, have them go back and compare what actually happened to their predictions.

Reciprocal Teaching for Beginning Readers includes the resources you will need to implement picture walks, prediction making, setting the purpose, clarifying/monitoring, asking questions, visualizing, and retelling/summarizing. If you have been wanting to try Reciprocal Teaching in your classroom, but don't know where to begin, this is for you! Reciprocal teaching is the use of reading strategies to increase comprehension of text while working in small groups. You will find lesson plans and resources for each of the 7 strategies along with information for starting reciprocal teaching in your class. Keep in mind that young readers need modeling and guided practice. They need explicit instruction in each strategy, which you will find in this product. Your students will learn the strategies of reciprocal teaching before beginning work in small groups. If having students work in small groups scares you, this product can also be used with the whole class or guided reading groups. Each strategy begins with an introduction and step-by-step lesson plans to begin teaching. You will also find colorful anchor charts, sentence frames, and printables. Included in this pack are Reciprocal Teaching Pals, which can be used during read alouds to continue practicing the strategies before having students work in small groups. Mini Reciprocal Teaching Pals also allow students to practice the strategies while they read independently. Finally, table tents are included for students to use once they begin small group reciprocal teaching. Explicit lessons give you the guidance you need to begin reciprocal teaching in your classroom. Included are ideas for getting started and timelines. You will also find a section called Use it Before You Lose It, which reminds you to continue practicing each strategy even as you progress.
