It documents one teacher's/researcher's concern and passion for teaching kindergarten students how to read using all components of reading emphasizing the use of pre-reading strategies that increase comprehension. This research was primarily qualitative. The students were the participants of action research which included the use of Picture Walk and Prediction Strategies taught before read-aloud sessions.
