Reading Literacy<br />
Game 3: Motivation for reading/listening<br />
Instructions:<br />
1.<br />
The teacher shows the pupils a bag containing different objects that are connected to the<br />
fairy-tale that will be read to them later on.<br />
2.<br />
The teacher instructs each pupil to try and find out what these objects are, blindfolded.<br />
They choose an object from the bag, and are allowed to touch it and smell it, but are not<br />
allowed to see it.<br />
(The teacher demonstrates this with a blindfolded volunteer)<br />
(Objects in the bag vary according to story content. The objects used in this sample lesson<br />
are: a bear, a pear, a cradle, and a baby.)<br />
The objective of this activity is to motivate children to read by introducing them to objects<br />
from the story.<br />
1. Reading/listening<br />
Instructions:<br />
The teacher then reads to the pupils a short folk tale in Slovenian 'Hvaležni medved' – The<br />
Grateful Bear. The pupils are asked to listen carefully. The teacher then asks the class if<br />
they understood it.<br />
The teacher reads the story again. This time showing pictures as she reads.<br />
The pupils listen and at the same time look at the pictures which have been scanned from<br />
the book<br />
The teacher asks the pupils again if they understood the story better upon listening to it<br />
