"I don't know how to read!" These words do not exist in K1PA! We have been working on different strategies that can help us begin to understand books! In Reading Workshop the children are learning a few strategies to help them become more independent with books. Readers can...
- Look at the picture
- Ask "what do I see?"
- Ask "What is happening?"
During Reading Workshop we sometimes sit in different ways too!
This aims to foster the different types of reading behavior that we find in an avid reader!
- Back to back: I am reading by myself
- Hip to hip: I am reading a book with my friend
- Knee to knee: I am interacting with my friend, having a discussion and asking questions
The finger light was originally invented for ravers in dance clubs. However, in K1 we've found that this little gadget has magical powers that make children point to whatever you ask them to! So far, we have traced letters in the air, on the floor and on our friend's back. We have also been 'letter detectives' and we looked for the letter 'b' in our reading books!
