Guided Reading Purposes
Identify one thinking strategy (ch. 1 in RWEC) or one reading comprehension strategy (ch. 7 in RWEC). Identify the strategy. Then write a purpose statement for children reading "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." You may duplicate strategies with classmates, but you may not duplicate purpose statements. E.g., One thinking strategy is "organizing." I might give children 4 pictures and say, "Read so that you can put these 4 pictures in the order they occur in the poem." That would require sequencing, a form of organization. Please do this by Sunday, Mar. 1.

As you are reading the "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," think about the things that are surrounding the spider. I will ask you to draw a picture of the spider in his environment.

"Read so that you can put sentence strips in the correct order." This would require sequencing, which is a form of organization.

Read the first two lines of the "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" and stop at the line "Down came the rain and washed the spider out" and predict what will happen to the spider in the following lines. This would require predicting which is a form of thinking.

ReplyDeleteAs you read the "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" think about what you already know about spiders. Compare what you know with what your partner knows. Is your prior knowledge the same of different as your partners? This would require prior knowledge which is a form of connecting the literature to what children already know.
ReplyDeleteAs you are reading "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," imagine using your senses what the spider felt as he climbed up the spout and what the water felt like as he was washed out. Write down what things he was touching and what they may have felt like? Tell me what you feel when the rain hits you and what a water spout (faucet/spicket) feels like when you touch it?

As you are reading "Itsy Bitsy Spider," close your eyes and think about when the rain came down and washed the spider out. Use your senses and think about the smell when it rains, and what you see when the rain washed the spider out. This allows students to use image thinking and relate what they see to what they are reading.

As you begin to read "Itsy Bitsy Spider", using the connect and image thinking processes, think about the connections you have to the poem. For example if you have ever watched a spider make a web or anywhere in nature. For the image process, imagine yourself as an observer in the poem and what you see and how you react.

Read so that you will be able to tell me what caused the spider to fall down the spiderweb. This will allow them to use cause and effect, which is an example of expository structures.
ReplyDeleteSiomara Castillo
As you read the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" Ask the class to try to predict what might happen as the end of the story. Prompt them by asking "What will happen to the spider"? "What will happen to the spider's web when rain starts falling? This prediction process will allow children to build and strengthen how they predict events; which is a key component in the thinking strategy.

Tell the students after they read the "Itsy Bitsy Spider," they are going to be helping to complete a story map. They need to look for the main character, setting, the problem the spider is having, different events that took place, and the solution. This is using a graphic organizer to help with reading comprehension.

Tell the students they will be reading the "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Show them only the title and have them write a sentence or two predicting what happens in the story. After the students have done this, read the story and have them compare their predictions to what actually happened in the story.

Read so that you can tell me what happened to the spider when it rained.
ReplyDeleteThis practices cause/effect comprehension, which is a part of the expository structures comprehension strategy.

While reading "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," use your senses to imagine what is happening. Can you hear the rain pouring? Can you picture the spider climbing the water spout?
ReplyDeleteUsing the senses to imagine what is happening is a thinking process that will allow students to relate the reading to what they already know.
While reading, think about why the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" wanted to climb up the water spout. Where do you think he was going? What was something that was a challenge for him to get up the water spout?
ReplyDeleteThis helps students practice cause-effect comprehension which is a form of following expository structures in comprehension.

While reading the "Itsy bitsy spider" let the students know that they need to pay attention to the order of the poem. After the reading split the students into groups of 4 and give each student a blank piece of paper and a sentence strip from the poem. allow them to draw the picture that goes with their sentence strip. Then let the group get together and put their pictures in order of the poem. This is a form of organization.
ReplyDeleteMeggie Colhoun
While reading the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" image what it would be like for you to be playing outside and how it would effect you if it started raining. Would you stay outside and keep playing? What would it do to your play set and the sand box? Write a song/story about what would happen and draw a picture of it. I think that children need to be able to have a good imagination especially if they are going to love to read.
ReplyDeleteBeth Hicks
Have your students read the itsy bitsy spider in class. Then have your student write another story about what the spider did after "out came the sun and dried up all the rain." Then have them share with their peers.
ReplyDeleteThis uses the predicting factors and the evaluating factor.

Read so you can tell me what the passage will contain.
ReplyDeleteHave your students think about what the poem will contain before they read it. (predicting what the passage will contain) comprehension strategies

After reading the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" have the children finish the story with this question: Should the spider climb back up the spout or not? This is an application question that is a thinking strategy.
ReplyDeletejoni little
Before reading, "Itsy Bitsy Spider," have the students draw a picture of the itsy bitsy spider. Then have them work at tables to come up with one prediction that may happen to the itsy bitsy spider. Read half way, and then stop. Ask the groups to talk about if they think their prediction will be correct, and come up with a new prediction. After reading, see if the students were right about their predictions. This is a comprehension strategy.
ReplyDeleteMolly Suddes
After reading the title, "Itsy Bitsy Spider," have the kids draw a spider. I want to connect background knowledge before talking about the poem. We could start off talking about spiders and how they have eight legs, and stick to surfaces. We could also talk about how the weather affects animals and their environment. I will then have them listen to the poem, and tell me where weather factors were affecting the spider throughout the poem. This is a comprehension strategy.

Comprehension Strategies - Predicting what the passage will contain and evaluating passage contents.
ReplyDeleteRead the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" until the rain washes the spider out. Tell the students you are going to have them make a prediction about the spider after they read this section. After the section has been read, ask them what they think the spider will do next. Discuss some of the predictions. Continue with the rest of the story and tell the students that you are reading to find out what the spider does next and to think about why he might have done what he did. After finishing the poem, talk to the students about their predictions. Then ask them why they thought the spider climbed back up the spout in the poem. How does that compare with their predictions? Ask them why they think the spider wanted to climb the spout so badly.

After reading the "Itsy Bitsy Spider", draw a picture of each of the four scenes that are described in the poem. This shows how the setting changes during the poem and helps students follow story structure. Following story structure is one of the comprehension strategies.
ReplyDeleteKarie Steelman
while reading the itsty bitsty spider you could have a puppet show and get the children involvec. you could also have them act out what happens after the rain is gone.
ReplyDeleteChildren love using there imaginations and this way they can be hands on and have fun while doing it.

While reading the itsy bitsy spider, have the children think about spiders and what they do. Also have them think about what happened to the spider during the story. After reading, have them draw the main idea of the poem. This focuses on the important ideas and shows that they have understanding of what the poem was about.
ReplyDeleteEmily Towery
Read so that you can order the spiders activities throughout the day and make an additional "next experience."
ReplyDeleteThis will help the students with ordering events as well as creating/imagining what may happen next in the story
