Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using a narrative story related to the theme, (Family Picture), guide learners to identify the author and the illustrator's name. Read the title and show cover picture and let learners predict what the story will be. Read aloud the text to learners and use the Herringbone strategy, during and after the reading, asking the learners "wh" questions. i.e. [who, what, where, how and why questions] (see Appendix 1) Encourage learners to use their own words to retell and answer the questions.
