After Reading
After reading the book, talk to children about what they have learned. Ask questions to help you determine their level of comprehension.
Ask: What was the book about? Would you be interested in doing research and learning more about bridges and how they are built? Which bridge did you like the best? What do you think the author’s message was in this book?
You can also use this time to explore and discuss other print issues. For example: Have children turn to pages 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 14 and ask: Why do you think the author used commas on this page? (To separate sentence elements and to help to establish a time frame.)
Once again, you can look at and discuss how important the photos in this book were. Have children tell you what they liked and/or disliked about the pictures and how they helped them with their reading.
