Alright class, let’s talk about reading and how to become really good at it!

(Point to the first paragraph) First, what is reading? It’s more than just
saying the words on the page. It’s about understanding what those words
mean, not just by themselves, but how they work together to tell a story or
give us information.

(Point to “A. Importance of Reading”) Why is reading so important? Well, it’s


like magic for your brain!

* It helps you do better in school. If you can read well, you can learn
anything!

* It makes your brain bigger! Okay, not literally, but it helps you think
creatively and imagine new things.

* It helps you focus. When you’re reading a good book, you’re concentrating,
right? That’s good practice for your brain!

* It gives you lots of new words! The more you read, the more words you’ll
know.

(Point to “There are different reasons why people read…”) And guess what?
People read for lots of different reasons!

* Sometimes, it’s just for fun! Like reading a comic book or a story you love.

* Sometimes, it’s to learn how to do something. Like reading a recipe or


instructions for a game.

* Sometimes, it’s to get a quick idea about something. Like reading a


headline in a newspaper.

* Sometimes, it’s to find a specific piece of information. Like looking up a


word in a dictionary.

* Sometimes, it’s to understand the main idea of a story or article.

* And sometimes, it’s to really dig deep and understand something


completely.

(Point to “B. Text relevance…”) Now, here’s a tricky word: relevance. It


means how well something fits with what you’re trying to do. If you’re
reading to find out how to bake a cake, a story about a dog isn’t very
relevant, is it?
(Point to “C. Determining Importance…”) This is super important! When
you’re reading, you need to be like a detective! You need to figure out what’s
really important and what’s just extra information.

* Think about headings, subheadings, and titles. Those are like clues that
tell you what’s important.

* Look for highlighted words or pictures. Those are important too!

* Use graphic organizers. These are tools that help you write down only the
most important things.

(Point to the bullet points at the bottom) And when you’re reading stories,
you need to think about:

* When and why characters change.

* What characters say and do.

* Where the story happens.

* Important events and how they affect the story.

* The main message or lesson of the story.

* Any new words you learn.

So, remember, reading isn’t just about saying the words. It’s about
understanding them, figuring out what’s important, and learning new things!
Any questions?
