Monday morning we began our Daily 5 and CRAFT reading skills. We began by learning 3 ways to read a book. First, I told them the story of The 3 Little Pigs and then I told them the story of Cinderella. The students learned that there are times that we tell stories by word of mouth only. Next, we took a picture walk using the book Koala Lou. We were able to figure out what was happening on each page based on the illustrations. Finally, we read the book.
Did you know there were 3 ways to read a book?
We read Koala Lou to learn our first comprehension strategy, checking for understanding. We talked about how sometimes our minds wander while we read. When this happens we often forget what we have read. We learned a way to help solve this problem is to think back over a chapter, or a few pages, once we've read them to be sure we've comprehended the information.
Following Koala Lou we began talking about what a visitor should see and hear if they were to come in during our Read to Self time. We made a list of what students should do and a list of what I should be doing.
After we compiled our list we modeled the right and wrong ways to read to self. Ask your child about my modeling :). They got a big kick out of it!
After we learned ALL about how to read to self it was finally time to practice building our stamina. The students scattered around the room and began practicing our new read to self behaviors.
