Tonight’s focus:
Comprehension strategy: Sensory imagery*
Decoding strategy: Breaking into syllables
Level appropriate books for readers
*Sensory imagery is taken directly from the “7 Keys of Comprehension” by Susan Zimmermann and Chrys Hutchins.

Why worry about reading? People aren’t born good readers. Reading is an essential life-long tool. Reading is a skill that develops over
time. We want success for our students. We must work together to foster healthy
readers.

When reading:
The mind is active. The reader is decoding a message. The reader is making connections. The senses are interpreting stimulus.

Our purpose- We want our young readers to feel that
reading is:
Vivid Exciting Memorable A journey for the mind FUN!

Sensory Images
Sensory images are formed from the reader’s personal experiences.
Sensory images trigger memories and feelings.
Sensory images are pictures that form in your mind. These images help all readers understand what
they are reading.
![Page 8: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sensory images could be:
Pictures Smells Tastes Sounds Feelings Sights
![Page 9: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Creating, organizing and more.
Creating sensory images is an ongoing creative act.
As sensory images are created, the mind organizes them to make sense of the story.
Creating sensory images is what hooks a reader to a story.
![Page 10: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why worry?
Not creating sensory images is a type of sensory deprivation.
Without sensory images, readers miss out on the best part of reading.
Someone who is not producing sensory imagery may not be comprehending.
![Page 11: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Can we monitor reading?
Readers who are creating sensory images have a ‘movie’ playing in their head.
Fuzzy picture, no sound, no image? These indicate that there is a lack of
understanding.
![Page 12: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to troubleshoot…
The goal is to get the ‘movie’ started again! Is there is a lack of understanding? What to
do? Stop! Reread! Look up certain words. Ask for help!
![Page 13: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What should sensory images look like?
Each person’s sensory imagery is different! Sensory images allow the reader to be part of
the story. If a reader is engaged, chances are they are
creating sensory images. Readers who produce sensory images
demonstrate that they are understanding.

Not creating sensory imagery?
Readers who aren’t creating sens imagery are: Unable to retell in their own words. Unable to describe characters, setting, or
events in story. Disinterested in reading further due to lack
of interest in story.

What can be done to help?
Sharing personal sensory images helps! Be explicit and direct! Explain what you see as you read! Paint them a picture with words! Go beyond the words on the page! Elaborate! Be creative!

Decoding strategies- Why?
The building block of reading. Reinforces primary practices of letter and
syllable sounds. Helps students become ‘unstuck’ when reading. Helps the sensory images flow.

Difficult words for readers
Difficult words are important and need to be read.
Tackling difficult words can be tough but there are ‘tricks’.
What do you do to read difficult words?
![Page 19: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Give it a try!
Read this word: Dimethypolysiloxane
Was it difficult? Did you have a strategy to read it? Did the strategy you used help you to
read the word properly?
![Page 20: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Breaking words down into syllables
Each reader will encounter difficult words. When you find tough words- break them down
into syllables. Practice saying the syllables slowly, piece by
piece. Start placing syllables together reading the
entire word rather then individual syllables.
![Page 21: Come Read With Me](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/555656e1d8b42a8d0f8b53b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Back to the salad dressing…
Let’s review Dimethypolysiloxane Break it down into syllables!
Di-met-(t)hy-po-ly-si-lox-ane Let’s practice this word in syllables!
Repeat the syllables twice. Now, read the word rather than the
syllables.

Read together. While reading, identify specific
words that evoke sensory imagery with a post-it.
Read the text together from start to end.
