Winter Break is on it's way!

The winter break is fast approaching. The students have been working hard completing Workshop 2, practicing their Sequence of Events skills, and completing those reading logs. Reading strategies should always be a part of our routine when reading. After all, an active reader is a smart reader. Try this one out this week:


PREDICTING AND QUESTIONING

Use this strategy before, during and after your reading.

How to use this strategy:

  • When reading fiction
  • When making connections to what you are reading (predicting, relating to the characters, and questioning the author)
  • To develop a purpose for reading
  • When testing yourself for comprehension

With this strategy you'll find that understanding what you are reading is as simple as asking a question.

HAVE FUN!!!
