Reading Comprehension

I mentioned earlier that we have been reading books in the Henry and Mudges series and the Annie and Snowball series by Cynthia Rylant. I shared our problem/solution/lesson chart and today I wanted to show you charts that show more of our thinking. One chart below shows how we learn about a character over time as we read more books in a series. This helps us understand each book in the series more deeply and is one of the reasons why reading a series of books is so good for younger readers. The other charts show our thoughts in our discussions about how characters have different perspectives about the same events - in this case going camping and building a castle out of a cardboard box. We really love these books and the characters from them.
