Visualizing and a Guest Reader

This week our comprehension skill is visualizing.  This is when a reader has pictures or mental images in their mind that help them understand and enjoy what they are reading.  We practiced this skill by listening to some poems and by hearing the book, The Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert.  It is a wonderful story that brings to mind colorful fall images of a leaf on his journey with the wind.  It was a treat to have this week's guest reader read this book to us as well.  I have included a clip or her reading as well as a link to a reading of the whole story.
