Daily 5 Literacy Stations

All of the Kindergarten students get together 3 times a week for Daily 5.  During this time we have been sharing stories and Alphabet books as well as building our reading ‘stamina’ as we read books to ourselves.  We have learned that there are three different ways that we can read a book:

  • Read and talk about the pictures
  • Read the words
  • Retell a previously read book

This week we were very excited to begin our Daily 5 Stations.  Our current stations are:

  • Working on Writing (with whiteboards)
  • Listen to Reading (using a storybook app on the iPads)
  • Cookie Sheet Alphabet Work (with Magnet letters)
  • Read to Self 
  • Alphabet Printing Work

Have a look at this short video of us hard at work this morning!

 

Daily 5 – Word Work!

We have continued building our reading ‘stamina’ over the last few weeks!!  We are now up to 7 minutes of sustained, quiet reading!  This week, we began the Work Work part of our Daily 5 Literacy sessions.

At one Word Work station Kindergartens practiced matching upper and lower case letters and at another station children practiced writing their classmates names and words from around our classroom.  Of course, we also practiced building our reading stamina too!!
