Analysis Of You Are (Not) Small By Anna Kang

For this assignment, I read the book called You Are (Not) Small by Anna Kang to a Pre-k 3 aftercare class. This story uses simple terms and explains the concept of big and small. I tend to read two books to my first-grade aftercare students, but I had never read to the Pre-k 3 aftercare class. It was nice seeing how younger children react to books and book readings. The book reading was a great experience. Nevertheless, I realized that I need to improve my book readings. One area that I need to work on is asking the children to think about what the characters might be thinking or feeling. I believe that I helped develop the children’s literacy skills because as I read I pointed to the words and demonstrated how we read from left to right.
