Today in Reading Workshop we began the C section of our CAFÉ board. The C stands for Comprehension. Today’s mini-lesson focused on using our schema (prior knowledge) to help us better understand texts we read. Before reading the story Stellaluna students used their schema to complete a Venn Diagram on bats and birds. A blue dash precedes our schema (what we already knew about bird and bats). As we read through Stellaluna we added to the Venn Diagram. Our new learning has a pink dash before it. As a class we agreed that when you take time and use your schema it really helps you to understand (comprehend) the text you are reading.
