Monday’s Reading Workshop mini-lesson focused on how readers
use what they know about familiar authors/Characters to make predictions about
the book. We have many series books in our classroom and many students have
found an interest in the variety of series books the classroom has to
offer. One great thing about reading in
a series is that students become familiar with the authors writing style and
the characters in the series. We
discussed how the character Fox from the Fox series is always causing trouble
and up to no good. One reason why many
students in the class enjoy reading Fox books is because they always know that
something exciting and adventurous is going to happen with Fox. Other series that students are familiar with
and had schema (prior knowledge) about are:
Amelia Bedelia – Amelia is always making mistakes
Danny and the Dinosaur – Danny and the dinosaur go on lots
of adventures together
Nate the Great – Nate is always solving mysteries
Dairy of a Wimpy Kid – Rowley and Greg are always getting
into mischief
Geronimo Stilton – Geronimo goes on lots of adventures
Flat Stanley – Stanley travels to different places
