I was wondering....

I was wondering....
 
     Maybe you can give me your opinion on this...  every time i am going to read a new story  i have a problem getting to choose the vocabulary to teach before reading the story.  i usually dont know how to pick them because 90% of the words are not known by my students. how do you do it ?  how do you read a story to your student or with your students when they are slow or behind the standards of the grade they are supposed to be?

Perhaps you should choose easier stories, or you should rewrite them in a simpler language before reading the original one.

I �m with ueslteacher. I pick stories that have illustrations that explain the story very well and I pick the key elements to teach to my students.

First I present the story, and then I point every sentence and picture, asking them what they think it means. Of course my questions give half of the answer, so I can lead them to discover what the words mean in the context. After the story I also prepare some kind of activity to give the kids the opportunity to practice the new words with a different background.

Hope it helps.

Have a nice weekend!

I use the pictures of the story but I rewrite it. Have a look here and here.
I also add a lot of pictures to help Ss guess the meaning of the sentence.

Sophia, that �s awesome! Did you do this? and do you do this all the time? It must be very time consuming.... But I have to say this is so beneficial for your ss.

For every page of our books (all levels!), either it is a story or grammar. But I can tell the difference... I can �t work in a different way any more. It is time consuming - I takes me more than 3 hours for every ppt. I sometimes draw my own story. This is the hardest part... But kids seem to remember about 80-85% of the lesson without studying. So....
