Super Readers Celebrate
This week we began a new unit in reading where students are learning how to use multiple strategies in reading to help us read harder and harder books. So far students have learned:
Super readers:
- always look at the picture to think about the words that may be on the page (Eagle Eyes)
- get their mouths ready (Lips the Fish)
- try something right away (Tryin' Lion)
- stretch the sounds (Stretchy Snake)
- find a chunk you know (Chunky Monkey)
- flip the vowel sound (Flipper the Dolphin)
- back up and reread (Rewind Turtle)
Stay tuned as your child learns to confirm their attempt (yes, I am right or no, I'm not). The three parts that will help students to know if their attempt was correct that we will be learning are:
- does it look right (do the sounds match)
- does it sound right (grammatically does it sound right)
- does it make sense (all authors write books that make sense)
Check out the amazing Super Reader pointers/book marks that we made this week to celebrate all of our hard work and to remind us that no Super Readers are at the same place with their reading and that is the beauty of having a variety of reading partners throughout the year. Learning how others solve unknown words can help us to refine our own practice as Super Readers!
