Transitional (3-4)p. 86By modelling during read-aloud, and through instruction in the
contexts of shared and guided reading and mini-lessons, help students develop such knowledge and understanding as - using features of texts such as pictures/illustrations, graphs, maps, bold print, paragraphs, titles, simple index, table of contents, chapter titles, and headings or subtitles to determine content, locate topics, and obtain information. NOTES When involved in a theme which includes expository texts, I ask students to look at the cover, table of contents, index, pictures, and maps to formulate questions about what the text is about or where to find things in the book. The students can then answer their questions. |
