This week in class we learned about circular stories and why they are beneficial to use in the classroom. A circular story is when a series of events occur from the beginnning and end the same in a story. It follows a "rouind" pattern.
Circular stories are useful in a classroom since it allows students to predict and discuss repetition. This strategy is beneficial when students are learning about sequencing skills. The students become confident when they become familiar with repetition in a story. Eventually, a student is able to understand what they are reading and will become more independent in their reading.
Because reading may not seem as interesting as other activities for students, there are ways to make it fun and appealing. Since many children enjoy watching new exciting movies, you can encourage a child to read the book first before watching the movie about it. If you need help while you are cooking in the kitchen, you may ask a child to read the recipe aloud. Or, you may ask a child to create a menu for dinner and ask the child to use describing words. There are many ways to make reading fun. Every child is different so there should be creativity in their options. Ask the child to make up their own story about their family or friends and allow them to use personal photos. The child should be excited about reading and know that there are many ways of doing so.
