Strategy: Dramatizing Books
Literature: Firebird, he lived for the sunshine by Brent McCorckle and Amy Parker

Instruction: Regarding the implementation of this lesson, the teacher will begin the lesson by doing an interactive read aloud with the students.

Once the reading is completed, students can take turns using hand or finger puppets to retell the story from their perspective. Before the lesson, the teacher should make/draw cards of particular events in the book. Then, the teacher should conduct a second read aloud of the book. This time, the cards may not be necessary, but can be used if needed. Students can then retell …show more content…

Once the teacher has an understanding of prior knowledge, he/she will begin reading the book aloud and stopping at chosen words. The teacher will demonstrate how to tap/clap for the sounds. Once the read aloud is completed, the teacher will have a list of words written on the board. They will call on different students to tap/clap the words.
