Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Teacher and learners do a picture walk through the Big book, page by page. Ask learners to tell their story about the pictures. Using LEA (Language Experience Approach) have learners dictate their stories to you and write it down. Read it and have learners echo you word by word. Read the story to them and have learners compare their story to the author's version to see if they are similar or different. Through art work, have learners indicate the part of the story they liked most
