We have been working hard on reading every day. We went “shopping” for books to keep in our book bins for reading independently during our “Read to Self” time. We are building up our reading stamina each day. During our “Read to Self” time, we have a job and so does the teacher. 

The students have learned that there are 3 ways to read a book. As well, they have been encouraged to re-read books to develop fluency and comprehension. 

We encourage your child to continue to read at home with you, a sibling, or to read independently. There are a few ways that you can support your child as a reader. Click here to view tips.

In the last couple weeks, we have been doing an author study on Kevin Henkes. Through these books, we have been learning about feelings, increasing our vocabulary, and making personal connections (text to self). 

We have the privilege of having access to an online levelled reading program called Raz-Kids. More information will be coming home soon. To learn more about the program, click here.
