Session 4
IN THIS SESSION
Transform every story into a spark of curiosity, connection, and learning.
Discover the SPARK method, a simple interactive reading approach that turns ordinary storytime into a joyful, engaging learning experience that builds curiosity, confidence, and lifelong literacy skills.
-
Looking for items while reading a book makes the time interactive and continues the learning.
-
Point: Pictures, Words, Numbers, Shapes. A question might be "how many marshmallows are there on this page? "or "what is the page number?"
-
Swap quizzing for curiosity. Try simple, open-ended questions that spark conversation and boost comprehension—no worksheets needed.
-
Review the list of "Did You Know" facts. Did you know that the color of puppies can change as they get older, and even patches of color might change their shape.
-
Use quick checkpoints outside the story. Name of the book, author, and even "The End," will help learning continue.
-
Welcome to the most fun and engaging way to teach kids how to read—where books come to life, marshmallows go missing, and learning feels like an EPIC adventure!
