Reading Instruction
In the first trimester, the reading units will focus on developing accuracy in reading by learning skills and strategies for solving new words and building comprehension by learning to notice and discuss details about the characters, settings, and events in the stories we read. We will begin by establishing reading routines and setting good reading habits. The students will review how to choose books that are just right for their interest and reading levels, and learn to set goals and monitor their progress toward reaching those goals. We will have daily read-alouds, which will give us an opportunity to think about and discuss our thoughts and opinions on common texts. |
