KNOW
Kindergarten students will be able to handle books correctly.
ABLE TO DO
Students will develop book and print awareness by: identifying the parts of books and the function of each part. They will demonstrate an understanding of directionality (left to right), identify a return sweep on a page, identify the difference between letters and words, identify the title, and identify the author's job and the illustrator's job in a story.
Instructional Strategies
To handle a book: can be taught using shared reading of Big Books and through student independent and shared reading of leveled books.
Modeling: as you read big books together as a class demonstrate the correct way to handle books.
Reading Aloud to Children: teacher reads to students.
Shared Reading: teachers read with students.
Guided Reading: students work in group to read a book with the teacher as a guide.
Independent Reading: students read alone or with peer.
Listening Center: students will listen to books on tapes.
Homework and Practice: throughout the year the teacher will send home leveled readers to practice reading at home with family.

FIND IT GAME- Choose books with multiple copies for this reading game. Have students pointing to all the concepts of print and see how fast they can find each item you list (Find the top of your book....find the bottom of your book....where is the title.....where is the beginning of your story?, etc). Do not move to the next concept until you have seen every child pointing to what you ask. It may be fun to time them and see if they get faster. Have students help each other and check their neighbors to increase speed.
