We are working the reading skill of developing a mental image after hearing a story as a part of our work with the Daily Five reading program.
Today Miss Sporn started reading The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. After a while she stopped reading and we drew a picture of what we could see in our minds from what she had been reading.
Hi Ms Sporn’s Class – Congratulations on you wonderful ‘Magic Finger’ pictures. I can see from the detail in your pictures that you must have been listening carefully while Ms Sporn was reading… that is definitely the best way to start making a mental image. Roald Dahl wrote some wonderful books for kids. Have you read any others? I hope you enjoy the rest of the book. I’m looking forward to reading some more posts about ‘The Magic Finger’ as you finish more chapters.
From Mrs Nelson
