Reading
We will be reading Christmas books using our Super Reading strategies for the next two weeks. I will also incorporate several emergent reader books with comprehension questions for extra practice.
- Readers have super powers to look, point, and read everything they can!
- Super Readers use pointer power to check their reading, making sure what they say matches what they see.
- Readers don't let longer words slow them down: every word gets one tap.
- Readers use snap words to anchor their pointer power
- Readers will use partner power, snap word power and are ready to make the first sound in the word to help them read the word.
- Readers will use persistence power with stretching out tricky words.
- Readers use their voices to bring books to life.
- Readers will put all their powers together when reading. Super readers don't give up!
