What exciting plans do all of you have for comprehension lessons this year? Please share and let's get the discussion going! Jennifer Hello Jennifer! I did Tanny's "reading salad" lesson with my Kindergarten children this week. I took one of my husband's books (It was about genetics.) to demonstrate sounding good as a reader, but not understanding what I was reading. Since many Kindergarten children don't particularly like salad, we did "reading pizza". I used red paper for the sauce (text) and white paper for the cheese (thinking) and we put them in an aluminum pie plate as I read and shared. I read the book I Like Me, which was in my plans for this week already. Every page offered opportunities to share my thinking. Many of them really seemed to "get it". I will do the sauce/text, thinking/cheese idea several more times hoping that everyone will understand. After one or two more times, I am going to cook some real pizza with cheese and sauce to show how they "meld together" and become part of each other.
