Introducing the Read-Aloud 15 minutes

Domain Introduction

• Tell the class that for the next few weeks, they will listen to many
  enjoyable stories. Tell them that some of the stories may be familiar to
  them, and some may be completely new.


• Show students the different story books you have gathered. Pass
  them around. Point to and read the title of the stories on its cover. Ask
  if anyone is familiar with the stories.


• Discuss that stories are often created from people’s imaginations;
  they are not real. Many times stories are make-believe and fantasy
  with a little bit of reality—or something that is true. Such made-up
  stories are called fiction.


• Have students say fiction with you three times.


• Say to students, “Tell your partner about your favorite story.” Allow
  one minute for students to talk. Help partner pairs initiate their
  conversation and encourage them to ask questions to get more
  information. Call on three volunteers to share their partners’ favorite
  stories.


• Tell students a character in a story is who the story is about. Remind
  students that they have heard this word in the Nursery Rhymes and
  Fables domain.


• Ask students, “Do you remember any characters from Nursery
  Rhymes and Fables?” Pause for students to answer.
  
  
  • Answers may vary, but could include Little Miss Muffet, Jack and Jill, the
    Little Pigs, or Humpty Dumpty.
