Lit. class 3321 M&W read aloud video

I enjoyed the read aloud with Ms. Myers I saw that the children were very engaged in the story.
When she started to read the book she talked about the author which is important to know. She had a well managed class which a teacher should be able to do so all of her students can learn and enjoy the read aloud. Ms. Myers also stopped through the story and asked questions and the children would answer and this allowed them to comet with the story as well. In every story you will be able to see problems and the children can find solutions and that is where their critical thinking begins. I enjoyed hearing the children make predictions to the story and that will keep the children engaged because it gets them excited and they feel as if they are part of the story.

Lit. class 3321-350 M&W Non-Fiction

Non-Fiction is based on factual facts. Children enjoy to read on books that contain factual info. on animals. We read non-fiction all the time unless you choose to read a fiction book. We drive and on the way to our destination we see all types of signs and especially when we are hungry and trying to figure out what we want to eat, the sign appears and that helps us decide, sometimes or we vote on it. I find non-fiction books helpful and some are intersting.
