Doing a Little Better Than the Day Before – Anna’s Best of All
is continual, measurable, celebrated and it never ends. It is a daily challenge to do a little better than you did the day before and it’s always celebrated. Possible manifestations: standing just one second longer, reading just one more word, learning just one new number, taking just one more step, never a competition, never completed.
Anna has been working in level two of literacy for a few years now. Part of level two is to see if the student is understanding what they are reading. One way of doing that, is by asking questions, such as, who, what and where.
Every session Anna reads the story “The Pig Gets Stuck”. I have been working on trying to understand Anna‘s comprehension by asking several “who” questions. For two years Anna has answered some who questions by pointing to characters in the story (mainly Curly).
Several weeks ago I created a worksheet with pictures of the main characters in the story. I wrote their name by their picture and Anna would write their name next to the one I wrote. Today I cut out each name and asked Anna to match it with the who question for that character. Well, she did, without any help.
I am so proud of Anna. She is so smart!!!
