Michelle Skalski shows the Book Summary Chart she developed with Delia KatzNEW! This GREAT IDEA was submitted by Michelle Skalski and Delia Katz from Tropical Elementary:

We designed a poster/chart that teachers and students can use at the end of the two week period of reading a particular book in Shared Reading to review the key points of the book.

This Shared Reading Book Summary Chart includes the Title, Main Idea, Author, Illustrator, Characters, Setting, and Sequence. It provides visual support for young students to better understand what is being reviewed. Teachers may use the visuals to build and extend language for second language learners. The pictures may also be used as Alternative/Augmentative Book Summary ChartCommunication for students with various language abilities.

To start building your own Shared Reading Book Summary Chart,

download the symbols here!

(Some story specific symbols may be needed for the Sequence section. Michelle and Delia recommend using symbols from the Cheap Talk 8 overlay for each title - see below)

All the BELL (Building Early Language and Literacy) Shared Reading titles include downloads for several types of symbols/overlays. Below is a picture example and a description for use of each . REMEMBER that these are just a starting point - YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CUSTOMIZE THEM FOR YOUR STUDENTS' NEEDS!

Single Message Symbols can be used with a single, double, or sequenced message device. They are useful for participation in repeated lines/phrases or for independent story read-through or exploration.
single message symbols for grandpa, grandpa
Cheap Talk 8 Overlays include language that helps a child participate in the oral language of a story (saying the verses or repeated line, naming the characters or actions, etc.). You can record the messages as written on each cell or any variation according to your lesson objective.

16 Choice Picture Boards include messages for book skills, naming the main idea, and talking about objects and actions from the story. They are very general and WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CUSTOMIZE the language to make it more useful for your lesson objectives!

32 Choice Boards (Tech Speak 32 overlays) - Week 1 ("Walkthrough" for non-fiction titles) are designed with language necessary to participate in the picture walk. Adults should model by pointing to the messages as they speak and should encourage children to build phrases/sentences by sequencing messages.
