Description
In this video segment from Between the Lions, Theo reads aloud Abiyoyo, a story about a father and son who are ostracized from their town, but end up as heroes after they confront a monster. Theo?s reading illustrates how read-alouds can tell exciting and inspiring stories about other people and places.
Description
Pause the video segment at the point where it shows the cover of the book, and ask students to talk about what they see on screen. Who are the people on the cover? What are they doing? Look at the instrument propped up next to the boy. Do you remember what that instrument is called? Provide the word "ukulele" and explain what it is. You may want to review some of the other vocabulary in the story: "magician," "wand," "disappear," "giant," ?staggered." Ask children to talk about what they like (or don?t like) about this story. What is their favorite part? Invite volunteers to play the roles of father, son, and Abiyoyo as you retell the story with your students? help. Be sure to supply a magic wand! Some listeners become fascinated by the word "zoop"?the magic word used as the father waves his wand. This word can be the springboard for exercises in phonological awareness, spotlighting the /z/ sound and recalling other words that contain it. If we take the word "zoop" further and ask children to manipulate its three sounds: zzz. . . ooo. . . p, stretching them out, and deleting the /p/ at the end or the /z/ at the beginning, we help them develop a more advanced awareness of the separate sounds in words, called phonemes. Phonemic awareness is also a strong predictor of children?s success in learning to read and spell.
