Reading Fun

Here's a glimpse of some of our Readers and Writers hard at work during our Daily Five stations last week. I love to see the children actively engaged in their reading and writing. 

Students reading books on Razkids. They also practice  phonics skills on Starfall.com which is a great  free website  you can use at home. 

"Buddy Reading" is a favorite station and a great way to practice fluency.

Finishing up stories at the "work on writing" station. We read the story "Ira Sleeps Over" a couple of weeks ago and children have been writing their own "Ira" stories such as "Ira Goes To a The Zoo", "Ira's a First Day of School" etc.

Making Predictions

One of our reading comprehension strategies we worked on last week was "making predictions". Good readers make predictions before, during, and after reading. We stopped halfway through the story Too Many Pumpkins to predict what Rebecca Estelle was going to do with all the pumpkins. We had some great predictions..."sell them", "make pumpkin pie", "give them to friends" etc. 

Please practice making predictions as you read with your child at home. Ask questions such as "What do you think this book is going to be about?"and "What do you think will happen next?"
