Teachers with emergent readers will want to do plenty of shared reading throughout the school year. You may be searching for some big books at lower levels or examples of experience charts so students can practice the following concepts about print as well as level A and B reading behaviors:
- Locating front and back cover.
- Directionality.
- Return sweep.
- Difference between letter and word.
- Difference between pictures and words.
- 1 to 1 matching.
- Locating known high frequency words in the text.
- Using the picture and meaning to help problem solve tricky parts.
