READING ROUTE

Before reading:
Encourage the children to predict what the book is about. Show them the cover and ask:
What do you think senses are? Write their suggestions on the board. Tell the children they
will review their ideas after they have finished reading. The vocabulary worksheet can be
used to introduce the book. The children will learn or revise vocabulary before they start
reading, which will help them to understand the content. This will also help them to answer
your questions about the book.

During the reading:

Guide the children by asking questions: What kinds of things do you like to see, hear, smell,
taste or touch? Have them explain their responses to create discussion and debate.

After reading:
Review the children’s predictions to compare what they know now having read the book.
Then they can complete the graphic organiser by identifying an object from the book for
each of the four categories. The vocabulary worksheet and picture dictionary can be used
after reading to practise the new vocabulary. Finally, give the children the reading
comprehension test (Advanced or Basic level) to make sure they have understood what
they have read.
