Comic Master Fastest Way to Create Comic Strips and Cartoons - Toondoo Mind Readers: Thinking Out Loud Can Raise Children’s Comprehension Skills | First Steps It’s toddler storytime: let the rumpus begin! Toddlers bound quickly into the room. One hurdles mom’s legs while waiting for the opening song. Some hop, others roam, and a few practically climb our unflappable colleague Janie. Even after getting most of their wiggles out, many toddlers continue to float around the room—until Janie begins to read one of her favorite books, Owl Babies (Candlewick, 1996) by Martin Waddell. When she reads on the second page, “Owl Mother was GONE,” all eyes turn toward the book. Like you, we use many techniques to help children understand a story. “Reading is thinking” is a central principle for Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis, the authors of Strategies That Work: Teaching Comprehension for Understanding and Engagement (Stenhouse, 2007), who work mainly with primary and middle school readers and teachers. In storytime we ask children the same types of questions that efficient readers might ask themselves. Successful readers need to do two things well.
