One of the most important skills in teaching is matching the right book to the learner's developmental stage. Whether it is a picture book for Grade 5 or a novel for Grade 10, the "fit" matters 

However, selection is only the first step. I use visual mapping to break down complex narrative elements like strong character contrasts and resolution. This deep analysis allows me to scaffold my questions effectively because if I can't explain the "how" and "why" of a story clearly, I can't expect my students to understand it
