KG-M is turning into a room full of readers! Every day we have guided reading group in which students practice phonemic awareness, decoding words, and using comprehension strategies we have studied in class. We are currently working on the strategy of making connections. Making connections is important in developing understanding of text. We have learned the connections text-to-self, text-to-text and text-to-world. Encourage your child to share his/her connections with you as you read books together.
Students in KG-M have begun bringing home "just right" books to read with you. These books have been selected at reading levels that are "just right" for them. Please listen to your child read his/her book and then either ask your child some basic comprehension questions, or have your child ask YOU questions! Make sure your child puts the book back into his/her backpack to return the following day. These books belong to our school library, so they must be returned. Rather than returning them to the library, however, they need to be returned to our classroom as they are checked out to all of KG-M. Please also ensure that these books go into the front pocket on your child's backpack or somewhere they won't get wet or bent.
