Participant Review of this Module:
This module was full of colorful vocabulary. I so enjoyed the variety that the instructor posed for before, during and after reading questions/ strategies and activities that can be used with literature. After teaching 18 years, I continued to learn about opportunities that I could provide to my students so that they could be successful readers. We opened cookies, poured milk, ate the filling, ate the wafer then grabbed another cookie. Through the entertaining way that the instructor presented the material, it was easy to understand how to connect prior knowledge and experiences.
