Sandy’s Tips For Getting Ready To Read

Before You Read

  • Find a comfy place to read, get all snuggly.
  • Look at the cover. Gather as much information as you can before you start. Get your mind ready for the adventure!
  • Sometimes it’s fun to read with a friend, sometimes it’s nice to read alone.

While You’re Reading

  • Make it interesting. Change voices for the different characters.
  • Read parts or the whole thing out loud.
  • Make a movie in your head as you read. Turn the words into pictures and make them come alive!
  • Take a few minutes every so often to make predictions. What do you think might happen next?

When You Finish the Book

  • Tell a friend or someone in your family about the story — but don’t spill the beans, just give a short summary.
  • Think about your favorite parts, or your not-so-favorite parts. What were they and why?
  • Write a book of your own. Now that’s a GREAT adventure!
