Learning Made Smarter-Not Harder!
Next School Year:
Consider personalized stories for your classroom!
Using the most common sight words (colors, numbers, animals, places, prepositions, people, food, school supplies, action verbs, places, days of the week, vehicles, parts of the body, directions and locations) we will personalize stories using your students' first names. Repetition, alliteration, and rhyme will be implemented along with pictorial association. Students then internalize the reading passage with the draw and label step on the back of the paper. Students collect all the silly stories about their classmates, read, and re-read them to their parents to help develop fluidity. Silliness is an emotion. The brain uses the chemicals released during emotional expression to imprint memory deeper.
Addressing both right and left-brain dominant students is very important in making every student successful. Here is one proven approach.
These stories are great for ages 4 through 7 or any one who likes silly stories.
