Joan -TED: Questions for Developing Comprehension and Building a Speaking Vocabulary

This teacher’s edition of Joan contains the full text of the student’s reader, as well as teaching procedures, questions, answers, and exercises. Children begin Joan, the second of Carden’s two pre-readers, once they have finished I See. They are ready to read sentences. They’ll learn the purpose of a period, and experience dropping their voices at the end of a sentence. Teaching procedures found in this book will encourage children to develop a speaking vocabulary, become articulate, enunciate, listen, and organize material. As is the case with all Carden readers, there are no illustrations. Each child will use his or her mental image to bring the story to life and will enjoy illustrating it personally with crayons or pencils. By viewing the children’s illustrations, you’ll know what they’ve comprehended.
