In this engaging lesson, preschoolers will embark on an exciting journey to understand how to describe connections between two events or pieces of information in a text. This lesson falls under the unit of Reading Informational Texts, focusing specifically on answering questions about informational texts read aloud. The ability to discern and articulate these connections is foundational for young learners, as it fosters critical thinking and enhances comprehension skills.
During the lesson, students will engage in a variety of hands-on activities designed to make learning both fun and impactful. They will complete the "At a Pizza Party" worksheet and the "Walk In the Woods: Finding Connections" worksheet. These activities are crafted to help students practice identifying relationships within a story in an enjoyable and relatable manner.
Additionally, they'll have the opportunity to retell stories, answer questions, and specifically describe connections in nonfiction texts. This multisensory approach ensures that students not only hear and see the connections but also articulate and apply their understanding themselves.
Understanding how to describe connections between events or pieces of information is crucial for building a solid foundation in reading comprehension.
Parties are the absolute best! Don’t you think so? At a party, we get to eat, play, sing, dance and exchange gifts with other people. What’s your child’s favourite part of a party? Maybe it is the eating part! In this worksheet, the brother and sister are also eager to eat at the party they are at. Read the text to your kids and highlight the things the set do and eat. Then, help your kids check the things that they both do, eat and wear.
Walking through the woods is a great way to connect with nature, get some exercise, and also learn some new things about nature.

Read the short story carefully to your little ones and make sure they take note of the things the brother saw, and the sister saw. Then, help them check the things the two see in the woods.
