Conceptualización

Teaching plot helps kids better comprehend the story and its structure. It
also aids them with their own story writing. Using a mixture of plot teaching strategies gives
the kids lots of practice at identifying plot elements in a story.

Teaching Plot:

Teaching plot asks the kids to focus on the main details that make up the action in the story.
Using a variety of plot activities helps the kids gain a better understanding of plot.
In its simplest form, the plot is basically what happens in the story. It seems simple enough,
but kids often have difficulty picking out the important elements of the story that make up the
plot. The plot consists of a certain set of events that propel the reader through the story.
Teaching the kids these parts of the plot helps them identify the important events in the story.

Plot Basics:

Exposition: This is the introductory information that is needed to understand the
story.

Rising Action: This component is the conflict that kicks off the action in the
story.

Climax:As its name insinuates, this is the point in the story where the action and
EMOCIÓN

conflict comes to a peak.

Resolution: The conflict in the story is resolved to end the story.

Graphic Organizers for Plot:
Graphic organizers are a useful teaching tool for many different concepts. Graphic organizers
for teaching plot help the students break down the story events.

Plot Diagram:
A plot diagram is a line that mimics the action in the story. The beginning of the line is typically
fairly straight as the plot is introduced. As the rising action is introduced and the climax nears,
the line moves up to a point much like a mountain. The line then moves down toward the
resolution. The students fill in the details specific to the story they are reading on the plot
diagram.

Timeline
A timeline is another visual aid used to document the plot. Instead of a line that moves up and
down, a timeline is simply a straight line on the paper. The student starts at the left side of the
line with the beginning of the story. The major events including the rising action and climax
are marked chronologically on the timeline. The right end of the timeline is where the
conclusion of the story is located. A timeline helps the child see the cause and effect that
creates the plot of the story.

Flow Chart
Flow charts use a series of boxes and arrows to depict the flow of the plot. You can create a
template for the flow chart or let kids draw their own boxes and arrows on a plain piece of
paper. The beginning of the story is placed in the first box. Subsequent events in the story are
added in other boxes. The boxes are connected with arrows to show that one event led to the
next.

Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension:

There are a number of strategies for teaching reading comprehension
available to the homeschooling parent.

When working with a small number of students, as ina homeschool situation, it is easier to
see when a student is having problems with comprehension and consequently, it is easier to
figure out a solution.

No matter what homeschooling method you use you can integrate a variety of ways to
increase reading comprehension from the earliest grades. You should use different ways to
teach comprehension to keep your student both interested and progressing in this skill.

Narration
Narration is a tool most often associated with the Charlotte Mason method. It is one of the best
ways to help your child remember what has been read. Narration can be used at any age or
reading level.

At the very earliest stages, you read a paragraph or two to your child, and have him tell it back
to you. This can be lots of fun, and isn't much different than your child telling you about the
latest movie he saw or cartoon he watched. Choose a few paragraphs from the book you are
reading and read aloud, slowly and carefully. When you are done, allow your child to tell you
what the passages were about and what he remembers from them without any prompting
from you. The first few times he may only remember one thing. Be patient. This can take a
few tries, and the smallest progress should be commended.

Once your child can read on his own, you will do the same thing with paragraphs from the
reading assignments he has. Have him read a paragraph or two, and tell you what he
remembers. Again, it is important that you don't prompt him but allow him to process what he
has read in his own way. Over time, comprehension levels will increase dramatically and your
child may well remember 80 percent or more of what he reads because he is learning to
focus.

Exploring the Material
Another strategy for reading comprehension that can be especially helpful in the older grades
is to have your child keep a journal about what he is reading for history or science. Before he
begins a chapter, have him write down everything he knows about the subject. Next, he
should write down the things he hopes to learn in the reading.

Finally, have him write down a list of the things he actually learned from the chapter. Keep it
simple and allow him to write notes rather than perfectly crafted sentences. At this point, your
focus needs to be on what he remembers rather than his grammar.

Graphic Organizers
Graphic Organizers are helpful tools for children who learn visually. You may also know them
as mind maps. They can take many forms depending on the grade level, the reason you are
creating one and personal preference.

chronologically into a series of events. The first event is listed on top with an
arrow pointing down to the next event that happened in the story and so on.

Spider Map or Cloud Chart - Taking many forms, the spider map is helpful for
sorting information. A central theme is written in a large cloud in the center of a
piece of paper. Spokes come out of the cloud to attach to clouds with supporting
information. This can get quite complex as reading level and understanding
increase, but cloud charts can be used as early as fourth grade.

Cycle Map - A cycle map is used to chart the cycle of something; a water cycle,
life cycle or other cyclic series of events.

Reading worksheets-

Reading worksheets can be used to teach important concepts
as well as for review. These worksheets are used in helping students with reading
comprehension and a variety of literary concepts. The content of these worksheets includes
articles, essays, poetry and stories, all geared toward making students better readers.

Reading worksheets can be used to teach children who are beginning readers, all the way
through high school. While beginning readers are just learning the skills necessary for
reading, advanced students can benefit from reading comprehension. After all, what is the
point of reading quickly if you can't remember anything that you have read?

Make Your Own Worksheets

Homeschooling parents often create their own curriculum. There aren't always worksheets
available that can assist them in teaching concepts from books that aren't in the mainstream.
For example, if a parent is using a primer from the 1940's, odds are they won't find a
corresponding worksheet on the Internet today. In this case, parents can elect to create their
own worksheets that address information found within a particular book.

Creating a worksheet really isn't difficult, and they may be handwritten or created on the
computer. A copier can be used to include poems and reading selections from favorite books
for these worksheets. Questions, in any chosen format, can be included at the end of the
worksheet.

Alternatively, parents may also create their own worksheets that help students learn
generalized concepts online. If you're interested in creating worksheets using free online
software, the following websites can assist you with this:
