Read to Someone

I was able to introduce Read to Someone during Daily Five this week since we built 20 minutes of stamina during Read to Self. This was not an easy task but with practice we did It ! Read to Someone is when you read with a partner. It helps to build fluency which is important when reading. Plus it is a lot of fun. Ask your child to show you how it works.  Sitting elbow elbow knee knee one student reads while the other listens. The listener then asks two important questions- What was your favorite part? Why? We were able to build five minutes of stamina during read to someone. The children used The Creation story book they made during Religion which we had practiced reading by retelling the story. I also introduced Listening  to Reading at the listening center. I look forward to speaking with you at conferences.
