We are almost
half-way through the year! Our class has been working hard on reading independently, forming good reading habits. Please reread
"Reading", and
"High Frequency Words" to refresh this important big idea. Rereading a story over, and over, is essential to increase word fluency and confidence. As we approach the halfway point in first grade please be reminded
reading is the gateway skill to all learning.
Every first grader has a book box. Book boxes contain "I Can Read" books, and high frequency words for extra practice. I encourage choices. When a child has read their books, they read their way back! That means they read the stories again. Every child chooses the books they want in the box. We trade books in weekly. First graders may read words and stories aloud to a partner.
