Description

Schema and Metacognition for Primary Learners – Bring Comprehension to Life! Concrete Comprehension is an instructional resource series that uses concrete objects and hands-on experiences to help enhance comprehension skills for primary readers. When our students begin their learning with a concrete experience, it makes thinking visible and shows students the connections between text and the real world. The series is designed to engage students in literacy experiences that will promote higher order thinking and allow students to interact with text in an authentic way. The lessons are set up using the gradual release of responsibility model. While they are scripted for convenience, they can certainly be used as a guide and in whichever way works best for your students. My hope is that you and your students enjoy launching your comprehension lessons in unique ways that ultimately promote rich discussion and thinking within the classroom!

Activating and using schema and metacognition while we read is the foundation for comprehension and meaning. The Schema and Metacognition for Primary Learners edition includes 5 detailed lesson plans. The lessons are packed full of concrete, visual, and hands-on activities, experiences, and ideas for your K-2 students. The concrete objects used within the lessons that are not included in the download consist of a feather duster, file folder, mood ring, sour patch candy (optional), and a light or lamp. (These items are commonly found around your home and/or at local dollar stores.) The lessons work well in a whole group setting, but can also be taught in a small group setting or reading group. Many of the printables and organizers can also be adapted for independent reading. The lesson plans contain scripted teacher language, however, they can certainly be used as a guide and taught in any manner that best suits the students.

Real photographs with detailed descriptions are included for teacher support. The lessons can be used with any picture book or read aloud the teacher chooses. For convenience, I have included a recommended book list for schema and metacognition instruction within the pack. Download the Free Preview File to see photographs and an inside look at everything that is included within this resource!
