PWA Try this Choose a picture book with illustrations featuring lots of things happening in them. For example, Richard Scarry books are packed with interesting objects and colors, and In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak has lots of familiar items in the illustrations. Look at the illustrations together and ask {LEARNER_FNAME} to name as many items on one page as {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can.  After a couple of pages, each time {LEARNER_FNAME} names an item, ask: Was that on the last page? Encourage {LEARNER_FNAME} to answer yes, no, or I don’t know for each item.   Finally, ask: Was there anything on the last page that are not on this page? Once you’ve discussed it, go back to the previous page and do some comparing. Maybe {SUBJ_PRONOUN} will even notice something new.
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Keep track of how many items {LEARNER_FNAME} talks about seeing on the previous page of the book. Each detail is one thing that {SUBJ_PRONOUN} clearly remembered. If you can, also note how many items {LEARNER_FNAME} identifies from the previous page that are not on the second page.
PWA Why this matters It’s unlikely that {LEARNER_FNAME} (or you, for that matter) will remember all of the details from the previous page. That’s how memory works. However, research suggests that the more you exercise your brain, the stronger it becomes, just like a muscle. Not only does this activity help {LEARNER_FNAME}’s working memory, but it also demonstrates a close, analytical way of looking at books. In addition, it establishes a direct link between working memory and reading comprehension. UTM-EM-049-MAR-21
