On Wednesday I introduced “read to self” and the kids had a chance to practice it. Reading to self is an important skill in developing a passion for reading! I asked the kids how they can read a book (some said mom or dad can read or that they can learn to read). As a class we came up with these three ways to read a book…
- Read the Pictures
- Read the Words
- Retell the Story
Yesterday, we had our first practice reading to ourselves. We are going to practice reading each day, trying to build up our stamina. Stamina is our ability to do something for a long period of time without getting bored or giving up. Today, we met our goal of one minute! We've recorded that on our stamina graph. Once we read our classroom goal of 10 minutes we will have a popcorn party! Check out our photos of great kindergarten readers below.
