Students in Mrs. Kelly's class used what they already know about a topic to think about words that might be in a book on that topic (activating prior/background knowledge). With the app Popplet, students were able to make a mind map/web of words they already knew about their just right book's topic. This is one way grade 1 students get their minds ready to read a book!
Below is a blog post from one of her students.
