  1. Welcome to Selinsgrove Intermediate School’s Literacy Night

  2. Choosing a Book

  3. Interest Look to help your child select books geared to their interests. An easy way to sort out choices is to look at genre. Fiction:fantasy, realistic fiction, science fiction, sports, adventure, mystery, poetry Nonfiction:biography, information text This can include books, magazines, the internet or other print sources.

  4. Interest • With high interest, children may be inclined to select books above their reading level. They can be successful because of their background knowledge. • It is also acceptable for students to select books of any level for enjoyment. This may encourage additional reading.

  5. Finding Books Places to locate books: • Library - School and Public • Post Office • Book Swap with neighbors/friends • Yard Sales • Teacher’s Classrooms • Local Stores • Scholastic Dollar Bargains

  6. IPICK I= I choose a book and look inside. P= PURPOSE I am reading this book for fun? To be scared? For information? I= INTEREST Am I interested in this book? Will I remain interested? C= Comprehend Did I understand the page I read? Can I summarize it? If not, it may be too hard. K= Know Do I know all the words? Use the 5 finger rule!

  7. READING FICTION • Predict what the story will be about. • Preview the story: • title • pictures • information about the story on the back or inside cover of the book Before Reading

  8. READING FICTION • Identify and think about: • the characters • the setting (where the story takes place) During Reading • the events/plot (the series of events that give the story its meaning) • what will happen next • the problems and how they are solved

  9. READING FICTION • Stop and retell the main events. Put them in the correct order. (sequence of events) • Predict the outcome of the reading. During Reading • Make connections.

  10. READING FICTION • Think about what you have read. • Is it like or unlike something you may have already read or experienced? After Reading

  11. READING NON-FICTION • Determine what you want to learn or find out from the material. • Look over what you will read. Before Reading • Use aids the author has provided: • illustrations • bold-faced & italic print • graphs, charts, maps, diagrams • captions • headings & sub headings

  12. READING NON-FICTION • Use resources to help make sense of the text. • dictionary • online resources During Reading • footnotes (note at the bottom of the page that gives further information about something mentioned in the text above) • glossary • Reread confusing parts. • Use context clues (surrounding words) to figure out the meaning of an unknown word.

  13. READING NON-FICTION • Think about the new things you have learned. After Reading

  16. Additional Notes • Adult’s can still greatly influence a child’s choice in books. • Peers are becoming much more important with sharing books and ideas. • Non-fiction may be best to get from the library, except for a few good reference books. • Don’t be afraid to say no to books that • you don’t think are appropriate for your child.
