Reading Strategy of the Month
Beginning on Wednesday, October 7, and continuing each Wednesday, student, teachers, and even administrators will be picking up books or magazines to read for pleasure. That's right....no homework or required reading!
During A Lunch teaching stops and reading begins. Forget a book? Each classroom has a reading bin where students can borrow material. And don't forget about our Media Center to check out fantastic books.
Parents: How Can You Help? Do you have usable magazines or old books that we can add to our resource bins? Drop them off in the Main Office to the attention of Mrs. Porter-Savoy. Remember to cut any address labels off magazines and be sure they are age appropriate materials.
NOVEMBER STRATEGY
During Reading - Making Connections
Make "pictures in your head"' about the reading; use visual aids like maps, time lines, and charts. Ask yourself how this text is line or unlike others you have read; recall plots and information from other reading and viewing which correlates to this text.
Reread to build understanding; ask questions of yourself and others; analyze difficult words; paraphrase the writer's words; put the writers main points or ideas into your own words.
