WORKBOOK

About Mind Mapping for Kids

Mind Mapping for Kids: How Elementary School Students Can Use Mind Maps to Improve Reading Comprehension and Critical Thinking is my latest book on learning with mind maps. MMFK helps elementary school students even those in kindergarten develop higher-level thinking and improve their reading comprehension using mind maps and the 8 reading comprehension strategies. Not only does it help them succeed in school but also in life by teaching them the skills theyll need to become lifelong learners. The book is presented in a kid-friendly format with mind maps and cartoons. I hope youll read it and use it with your kid.

About Map It! Workbook

The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done men who are creative, inventive, and discoverers. Jean Piaget This workbook is a companion to Mind Mapping for Kids. MMFK was written for parents and teachers as a guide to helping kids think and learn while reading using mind maps. If thats something youd like your kids to be able to do, please read on. Be warned, however. Using the strategies laid out in MMFK requires you to commit to working with your kid on a level beyond passive reading. Youll be mind mapping, practicing reading comprehension strategies, and actively working to change how your kids read. Its demanding work but a worthwhile investment in the education and success of your kid. In the workbook, youll find 11 worksheets referenced in the book. Work together with your kids on questions and exercises to learn how to mind map and how to use the reading comprehension strategies while reading. If you like this workbook, please share it with anyone you think would benefit from it. Additional FREE resources and FREE downloads are available at www.mindmapsforkids.com.

Mind Map of the Water Cycle

Name:
Great Job!

Date:

GOAL

Create a mind map of the water cycle.

INSTRUCTIONS

Using information below and any other information you have available, create a mind map of the water cycle. Water Cycle The water cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) is the never-ending circulation of water as it penetrates the three parts of the Earth system: the atmosphere (air), hydrosphere (rivers, lakes, and oceans), and the lithosphere (land below the hydrosphere). The water cycle is driven by the sun (provides heat) and gravity (Earth pulls on the water). Water moves between these systems through four processes: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes, or the ocean and turns it into water vapor. Condensation is when water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that clouds cant hold it anymore and water falls back to rivers, lakes, oceans, or land in the form of rain, hail, sleet, or snow. When water ends up on land, it soaks into the earth and becomes part of the groundwater that plants and animals use, or it may collect in the rivers, lakes, or oceans. This is called collection. And then the cycle starts all over again.

Now its your turn to create a mind map. Use the blank space on the next page to draw a mind map or create a mind map electronically with a program of your choice. Happy mapping!

Compiled by Megan Schliesman Cooperative Childrens Book Center (CCBC) School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison This bibliography was developed for the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB) for their Into the Book reading comprehension project. It maps selected childrens books to each of the eight comprehension strategies outlined in the project:

Using prior knowledge Making connections Questioning Visualizing Inferring Summarizing Evaluating Synthesizing

A final category, Using Strategies Together, suggests longer or more complex texts that demand readers to integrate various comprehension strategies. The goal in creating this bibliography was to identify 12-15 titles for each strategy. But most books here will lend themselves to application across the strategies. The focus in choosing books was to find engaging titles that would meet a range of reading and listening abilities, and that would reflect the diversity of classrooms, communities and the world today. The book selections for every strategy include picture book stories and nonfiction for early elementary-age children. Some strategy sections also include poetry, wordless books, and/or chapter books. For more information about ECBs Reading Comprehension Project, go to http://ecb.org/reading/

Using Prior Knowledge
