While reading with your child, start asking: is this real or imaginary? A priority under the Common Core Standards is to make sure children — even kindergartners — get equally comfortable reading fiction and nonfiction.
According to the Common Core, the goal is for kindergartners to split their time between stories and information think dinosaurs, trees, and starfish while learning the differences between the two types of text. We read to spark our imaginations, to experience new adventures, to learn about the world. All are synonymous with reading to gain knowledge. Common Core emphasizes the idea that being a good reader is more than reading the text in front of them; even kindergartners need grow their understanding of the world by integrating new information into what they already know.
Think of it as your kindergartner opening a knowledge bank account and filling it with accumulated information. Key skills that will help your kindergartner build knowledge include being able to retell familiar stories; identify characters, setting, and major events in a story; compare and contrast characters and events in different stories; describe how two people, events, ideas, or facts are connected; talk about the similarities and differences between two books on the same topic; and engage in group reading activities by listening and asking and answering questions.
What does this sound like? The key is getting kindergartners understanding and thinking about the big ideas they learn when they read — and taking that information with them as they grow. In kindergarten, this really just means finding — and literally pointing to — answers to questions.
