5 Ways to Teach Reading with Character Emotions
Teachers commonly use emotions charts for social-emotional learning with their students, but did you know you can also use them to teach reading? Reading instruction can be more engaging when incorporating emotions activities. Character emotions can teach reading skills such as making inferences, author's purpose, character analysis, fluency, and to build students' vocabulary. These engaging activities can be implemented during reading small groups, literacy centers, or whole group minilessons!
Making inferences can be a challenging skill for elementary students - but it doesn't have to be! Scaffold the learning for students by teaching them how to infer with pictures before applying it to text. Enchance your literacy centers and reading minilessons with word association games, mysteries, joke books, high-interest pictures, the See Think Wonder strategy and so much more. These engaging inference activities will make a difficult skill more accessible and FUN for your students.
