Objective

By the end of this lesson, RR will improve their reading skills by engaging with a fun story, enhancing their vocabulary, and practicing comprehension through interactive activities.

Materials and Prep

• Paper and colored pencils or crayons
• A comfortable reading space
• A short story or a favorite book (which RR can read aloud)
• Access to a timer (can be a phone or a clock)

Activities

• Story Time: RR will read a short story or a chapter from their favorite book aloud. This will help with pronunciation and fluency.
• Illustrate the Story: After reading, RR will draw their favorite scene from the story. This encourages creativity and helps them visualize the text.
• Vocabulary Treasure Hunt: RR will choose 5 new words from the story and create a "treasure map" using these words. They will write sentences for each word to show their understanding.
• Character Interview: RR will pick a character from the story and pretend to interview them. They can write down questions and answers, practicing dialogue and comprehension.

• "How do you think the story would change if it had a different ending?"
• "What was your favorite part of the story? How did it make you feel?"
• "If you could be any character in the story, who would you be? Why?"
• "Let's think of a new adventure for the character! What would happen next?"
