Readers Workshop

In readers workshop this week we are talking about our favorite books and our favorite reading memories. We have talked about different kinds of books that we like and what we like to do when we read. We also discussed the three different ways to read a book-using the words, using the pictures, or we reading a book that we've already read.

After our reading mini lesson, we have been practicing returning to our desks for a few minutes of independent reading from a book look box. Here we are hard at work:

When reading at home, you can practice by telling the story just by looking at the pictures. You can also use the pictures to help you figure out words in books that have a pattern. 

For instance, we have looked at books that contain a one sentence pattern on each page, with one word that changes. The picture helps us to figure out what the changed word is.

Have fun reading at home with your kindergartner!
