I found McGinley and Denner's explanation of story impressions interesting (as cited in Vacca, Vacca, & Mraz, 2011, p. 176). It has be thinking about how I could adapt it to use with younger learners (kindergarten-1st grade). For example, the story chain would need to be shorter (due to shorter texts, short attention spans, working with a very new idea for young learners). A lot would need to be modeled (perhaps even an entire book modeled and then introduce a new book for students to try this with).
