How To Read A Story

Everyone needs a good how to tutorial.  We have all read a how to book about something (how to make more money, how to be happy, how to raise a child), but have we ever read a book on how to read a story?  It might sound a little redundant, reading a book on how to read but Kate Messner brings us a lovely read aloud that shows kids how to read a story in just 10 easy steps!



Step 1 of course is to find a story, a good one of course.  Step 2 is to find a reading buddy.  Step 3 is find a cozy reading spot.  The list goes on and on, telling the reader every imaginable step to reading a story like reading in fun voices and what to do when a hard word comes up.  It is such a fun read aloud because the book reads just like a conversation.  This is a fun book for any reader to read, but an especially great read aloud for kindergarten and first grade when they are just beginning to become independent readers.

What would your steps be for how to read a story? Would you read with a buddy or just by yourself?

Happy Reading!
