THE WIND BLEW By: Pat Hutchins

What is reading without comprehension? The answer is nothing. That is why I am developing a series of comprehension lessons throughout the year based on good children’s literature. The address label stickers on the following page can be attached permanently to each book to help guide good comprehension questions. These questions are excellent for parents, older students, and teachers alike. Just print on an address label page and attach anywhere on the page of the book. If the book is not numbered, page one will be the first page of the printed message. I recommend numbering each book with a pencil so that you many find the page numbers easily. HAPPY READING! The following pages will be ideas for comprehension activities to be used with your students. It is my hope that these activities reflect more authentic work done by students rather than a worksheet. Graphic organizers will be used to help students reflect what they know. It is my passion to see students grow in knowledge and confidence into lifelong readers.

Literacy Connection: Who Has Seen the Wind? By: Christina Rossetti

Visualization: Have students close their eyes while reading the poem to picture what they might see in their imagination. Then have them illustrate the poem below from that visualization.



Who Has Seen the Wind?

BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by.
