Student Storyboards to Check Comprehension

Hello,

Storyboarding is a great tool to check a student’s comprehension of a story. Kids love to draw and color so it’s win-win for everyone!

As you know, Fiona is one of my students who is reading all the books in the Poison Apple series. She recently finished NOW YOU SEE ME by Jane B. Mason.

Here is Fiona’s first storyboard:

I discovered she is quite the artiste, too! Great job, Fiona.

Fiona is nearing the end of the series with MIDNIGHT HOWL by Clare Hutton.

And, here is her second storyboard:

Great story detail in your pictures, Fiona!

Readers, I hope you have a chance to use storyboards with your students and children at home. Share with me your success stories, too.

Happy Reading,

Kathleen

Another Student Book Recommendation

Hello,

One of my students wrote another wonderful book recommendation for her peers. The book is MISS FORTUNE by Brandi Dougherty. This is another Poison Apple book.

Fiona started reading the Poison Apple books a couple of months ago and is now reading the second to the last one in the series, until August, that is, when another book is due to be released. I am so pleased with how voraciously Fiona is now devouring books! Keep up the great work, Fiona.

Happy Reading,

Kathleen
