Story Maps

In Reading Workshop, we have been working on creating Story Maps to increase reading comprehension. These maps are linked to the following I CAN statement: 

I CAN tell who, where, when and what after reading.

The children have also been working on Story Maps as part of their weekly homework packets.  Please be sure to take a look at the Story Map in your child's packet and ask him or her to explain its importance.  We have 2 Story Maps formats and today, after a lesson on how to use the second format, the children read an "Old Favorite" with their reading partners and then began to complete a story map.
