All About Reading |
In Reading we will spend the year talking about different strategies that help make us better readers. Those strategies are:
Making Connections between the text and themselves, between the text and other books they have read or between the text and the world at large.
Visualizing, or making a picture in their minds while they are reading.
Questioning to better understand what they are reading.
Prior Knowledge uses what a student already knows to understand the text they are reading.
Synthesizing, or taking a look at the text in a new or fresh way.
Determining Importance teaches a child to look beyond everything the author tells them and determine the truly important pieces of the text.
Drawing Inferences teaches a child to use the clues that an author provides to figure out what the text rally means.
Lastly, during the third and fourth quarter we expect our students to complete a reading log every week. A student is expected to read 15 minutes every night for a total of one hour per week. In addition they will all write a book report on something they had read during that time. Reading logs are due every Friday.
You will find a copy of the Reading Log and the Book Report on my Forms link. Just in case your child loses theirs!
