It is increasingly clear that more emphasis must be placed upon discus- sion and meaningful follow- up activities. Dramatizing a sequence from a story is an- other excellent way to convey the true meaning of a story. The emotional response of the characters must be shown. “When the work ‘predica- ment‘ came up in a folk story, we dramatized predi- caments which they had ex- perienced. The word ‘pl'eâ€" dicament’ became a well-used world after that." Even good readers can be at different levels in un- derstanding what they read. and with guidance can be led to see a lot more than they see at first reading.
