A lot of the strategies were new to me. I usually show the front, ask questions regarding the pictures, and talk in different voices.

I cant wait to work on these new strategies; making inferences, asking and answering question, making connections, cause and effect and practice rhyme. I think story time is going to be so much more fun now and i think the children will be able to really focus and be apart of story time and learn.

Some of the new strategies are discussing the cover picture and discussing the pictures and emotions of the characters in the book.

I ask a lot of question related to the story and ask them what they think will happen next in the story

Before reading the book aloud, take the time to give the students a task such as, "Your job is to listen for the 3 ways that the main character tries to solve the problem". I also like the idea of highlighting certain words and having the kids see them in context.

Although I use most of these strategies when reading to my class, the strategy of spending time looking over the cover page and anticipating what will happen is new to me. Great idea!

I think a new strategy I found new to me was discussing the cover and back of a book before reading to the students. Trying to get the students to guess what the story about. I like it because it keep the students engage in the story before you start actually reading it.

Using sticky notes to help remember certain things in the books is a great idea. My students are really into rhyming words right now. We often stop and talk about any words that rhyme in a book

The use of sticky notes was new to me. This was a very good tip I'll use in the future. The strategy that I use the most often is reading the book ahead of time. It prepares me for the characters and voices I may use when I actually read it and questions I may want to use to promote predictions and listening.

Using sticky notes and discussing the front and back covers are new to me. I can see how using both these strategies can enhance my reading skills.

Talking about the Cover Page was a new one for me. I do questions and discussions a lot while reading, it keeps the children focused on the story.

A lot of those were new to me! I loved the idea of setting the task to look for certain circumstances like solving problems or making friends. I also like the idea of looking at the books cover to make predictions and create interest in the story they are about to hear.

I think that I could improve on talking about the front and back cover of a book. I think that I do a good job relating the book to the children's life and talking about important vocabulary.

There were a few reading strategies that were new to me! The first one she used where she reflects on the title and the cover photo first with the kids before she even begins to read the story was new for me! I liked this introduction of the book to the kids as i feel as though it would make them feel curious about the story and what will happen during it! Another new strategy for me was simply just reading aloud to myself first before reading it to the kids! That way i can figure out important words/themes that i want to highlight to the kids!

Strategies I most often use in my own classroom are as follows:
1. I usually like to run my finger along the sentences as I read them to help the kids follow the words as I speak them aloud.
2. I use a range of expression/pitch/tone and volume when I speak, giving each character a unique voice of their own. This really helps the kids to connect.
3. Finally, I do tend to like to ask questions to the kids during the reading of the book to keep them interested and engaged with the narrative! I also love to do a simple summary afterwards of what happened during the story and then ask the kids questions afterwards to help connect their own real life to the story we just read together!

New strategies to me we're making connections, pointing out rhyming words, discussing cover picture. Things I already do is point with my finger, ask questions at the end, and facial expression.

I really enjoyed listening to the way she told the story. I believe I use most of these strategies often when I am reading to the children. I do point to the words as I read. I define words that I think they may not understand. I also point out rhyming words and when several words together start with the same letter sound. The one strategy that I might start using more is having the children predict what they think will happen next.

Talk about the cover and what do they think it might be about. Discuss pictures along the way
