Watch this mini-lesson, using shoes as props, in a k-2 multiage setting.
CAN IT BE FOR ME?
This is an acronymn for discussing the many details to consider when choosing a book. I have second graders unscramble letter cards as a whole group (making two and three letter words - there are many. I have to say "that is a word you can make from these letters, but it's not in my message." Discuss how Kinders choose from just looking at the covers, but now they're bigger, they should use many clues to find books just right for them. During the blurb discussion (let them say the word three times- it's fun to say!) I tell them a story about going to bookstore with a gift certificate. I wanted to pick a book I would love because at bookstores, you can't just return it and get a new one if you didn't like it. So I read blurbs and excerpts. When we conclude and dismiss to checking out, I ask them to try using at least 4 of the 12 suggestions in CAN IT BE FOR ME?
Can It Be for Me? guide - can be used as a worksheet or just teacher - guide.
