It's a Deer Story

I discover there is always something interesting in every story I read and reread with my students. That something may be hidden. It takes not only expertise, but also love and sensitivity to direct children's mind into capturing the special moment. From there we may take their hands and guide them till their inquisitiveness is well aroused to pushing them into venture on their own through the wonderful avenues of reading. I questioned my heart, "Why not let kids tag along the time of the journey that stirred up your crave while leading you to the sources, reading and writing?" The answer came out in the form of a personal narrative, It's a Deer Story followed by two poetry links, The Old House and Prancing About. These accounts portray kids, unsatisfied vagabond mind, sitting in a classroom, or even parents at home stocked between budding dreams and every day house chores. It's a Deer Story shows how reading opened up to this reluctant little girl. I have met so many halfhearted readers like Michele! Identifying with the characters a youngster is reading about is essential to a youngster. That helps boost up his self-esteem while infusing into him a sense of emulation. For comprehension to be enlightened, the materials at hand have to sparkle. Use these books as Teacher Read Aloud! Read them before and after any activity, especially art and writing! Conduct reading lessons with these stories for their essence will help cover all the benchmarks! Or read them for the simple pleasure of reading! They do not tell stories, they give you chances to mingle with the characters, and they open doors. Enter and let your curious eyes gulp down the lively images that are popping up while crossing the Caribbean Sea. Just travel the world on the wings of words.
