The best way for your child to become a strong reader is to practice! As you read to your child be sure to talk about the story. It is awesome for them to hear what an experienced reader sounds like and for them to listen to stories above their own reading ability level. In the classroom we are focusing on building comprehension skills and becoming life long readers! Our focus is on STRENGTHENING our reading STRATEGIES, working with partners to discuss our reading, reading across genres, LEARNING about the world around us THROUGH literature, and using DAILY PRACTICE, songs and poetry to improve our fluency. We are doing the work of a reader and verbalizing our reading thoughts!
