Instead of reading the story once, we take the time to understand key ideas and details, analyze craft and structure by examining dialogue, typography, word choice, etc., and focus on the integration of knowledge and ideas by searching for information that comes from the illustrations. Our students fall in love with these stories because we dive deeply into them. We also incorporated a craftivity to complement each read-aloud and designed bulletin board headings to display the work. We created graphic organizers and writing in response to text activities to incorporate writing standards. We wrote rigorous text dependent questions where students use evidence from the text to deepen their understanding of the stories.
