“What’s Going On In Your Child’s Brain When You Read Them A Story?” by Anya Kamenetz

Pet etosk
- skeys
(YMGoodman)
The boy was looking for Petoskeys. He was walking slowly to make sure he wouldn’t miss them. Each time he looked, he found a number of them. Petoskeys are not easy to find because they are almost the same color as the sand. The boy enjoyed looking for the Petoskeys on the beach. His mother used them in her work. She was an artist and made jewelry with them. When the Petoskeys are polished, they turn deep shades of brown and grey. A pattern of six-sided figures shows up on them. Petoskeys are found only on the shores of the Great Lakes.
Reading Miscues
Wh What t is a Mi Miscu cue? e?
A reading miscue is when there is a difference between what is on the page and what is read as the result of prediction or background knowledge.
- High quality miscues
- The witch took one look at the lion’s face
and ran!
- The friends sat together for a quiet minute.
- Low quality miscues
- I found a big, white, oak snake living in
the birdhouse.
- It was warm in our classroom.
Miscues ≠ Mistakes

Mi Miscu cue e Ea Ears
- Miscues show what the reader KNOWS
- Coaches need to develop “miscue ears”
- How does the miscue show you what your
reader knows?
- What does the miscue tell you about how
your reader is comprehending the text?
- Coaches practice “judicious correcting”
- What miscues did you hear?
- What do they tell you about this reader?
- How did Coach Steve support Marty in
staying focused on making meaning?
“Did that make sense? What would make sense there?” “Go back and read that again.” “Skip it and read on”

Wh Why y Write? e?
“Writing enhances the student’s ability to read a text accurately, fluently, and improve comprehension.”
(Krashen, 1993)

Book Choice Reflection
Always ask yourself:
- “Are the books I’m choosing helping my
student and I build our relationship?”
- “Are my book choices reflecting all of my
student’s interests?”
Your book choices have the power to limit or expand your student’s perspective!
