First of all, just want to say thank you to everyone for all their insight! I
do not actively email but I do read everything and have gotten so many fabulous
ideas from this listserv, so thanks to all these amazing ideas.
I am getting ready to teach 5th grade summer school. I am looking for any
suggestions about short term, possibly intense instruction. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carrie

I could see using this with our fifth graders too. Does anyone have lesson
ideas for grade 5-6?

Subject: [MOSAIC] lesson on inferring for k and first grade
Does anyone have a great lesson on teaching inference to kindergarten/first
grade students.
I would suggest using the book Dear Juno by Soyung Pak. It is in our third
grade Treasures (McMillan/McGraw reading series) and also available through
Amazon. It is about an little boy that has a grandmother living in Korea. His
grandmother sends him a letter written in Korean which he can't read. He asks
his mother to read it to him, but she is too busy so he tries to figure out
what his grandmother wrote him. Luckily grandma drew a few pictures and sent
him a picture. Based on these clues he is able to figure out the content of
the letter. When his mother finally reads the letter to him, his inferences
are confirmed.
It is a very effective and transparent book to teach inferring.
