Alphabet Books and Children Who Read Them
Focusing on questioning and shared research, students learn that questioning is foundational to learning. By using books that require conversation, such as The Graphic Alphabet, students understand that ideas are processed through inquiry, thought, and conversation. After the students perform shared research based on a class question, they write a class ABC book about their topic. During this writing, they review the formation of a sentence with proper punctuation. Students also consider healthy habits in this unit and write about what they know, focusing on their topic and supporting it with facts. Finally, they apply their knowledge of questioning to poetry and perform the poetry as a choral reading.
