DAILY 5
How do you get better at reading, or anything else for that matter? By practicing reading, of course! Our daily dose of reading activities will include the DAILY 5 of:
The children will practice each of these activities. We take it slowly learning how to do each one and build our stamina so that they can become independent. They should be familiar with the steps as they have been using this system for a few years now.
- READING-TO-SELF (We practice making good choices in reading selections. In their reading baskets will also be books that I choose for them to practice independently)
- READING-TO-SOMEONE (This helps build fluency. This is a great one to do at home!)
- LISTENING TO READING (They practice good listening skills and I model comprehension strategies such as visualizing what is read, another good one for home! Also listening to stories online)
- WORKING WITH WORDS (sight word and pattern practice with paper, iPad, and hands-on activities)
- WORK ON WRITING (includes writing about what they read)
The children will practice each of these activities. We take it slowly learning how to do each one and build our stamina so that they can become independent. They should be familiar with the steps as they have been using this system for a few years now.
