In The Context of A Child
In this presentation we will talk about how one can examine books. If this presentation is to be meaningful to you, what we say must ALWAYS be referenced to a child you teach. Consider each point and take into account the experiences and needs of a specific student. Think about these factors in relationship to a student with whom you are working.

Clay – Orientation to the Story
Having (1) carefully selected a book for a particular child the teacher (2) [thinks] about the best ways to orient this child to the text…Take the ‘bugs’ out of the text before he tries to read it.

Clay – Orientation to the Story
• Make the child familiar…
• You might…
• In the first year or two it helps if the child knows the story before he reads it.
• Introduce into [NBO] any concept, or word, or phrase structure that [the teacher] has not heard the child use.

A Trip to McDonald’s
Familiar: When you discuss/go to McDonald’s with a child, they know what to expect based on their experiences, you don’t have to tell them everything, but you do help them with some of the details, and they do the rest. As you make more trips to McDonald’s children require less assistance.

Choice of a book
• Choose the new book very carefully.
• Teachers need to have experience using little books and learn how to progressively select books to assist individual children to read with success. LLDI 2 pp89.

Text Level
A predetermined level assigned to a book does not determine whether a text is suitable for a child. A range of factors can contribute to the way a book either challenges or supports a reader.

Book Selection
When selecting a book, teacher must determine how the text and book will support the reader, where there will likely be challenges, and the kind of scaffolding/prompting/explaining they will need to do in the orientation in order for the reader to meet the challenges.

Becoming A Little More Systematic
Sometimes it helps to have guidance thinking through aspects that may be considered in selecting and planning an orientation.
In that spirit, we have listed some ideas and will share some examples of how it could work.

American Indian Children
Selecting culturally sensitive curriculum can be a difficult process. Albeit, American Indian people have few contemporary stories within mainstream American education it is still important to balance the past with the present in accurate literary portrayals. It is equally important to depict American Indian people as progressive, modern, vibrant people with a great deal to offer and an enriching culture. ( Maachiange, 2009)
