Mrs. Blair- Reading
Last Week: We practiced visualizing and making text connections to deepen our understanding of fictional texts. We finished the week by making inferences through hands-on activities. Next Week: Students will continue applying their learning to make inferences about characters in the texts they’re reading. We will then kick off the first of three bends of our new unit focusing on fictional series. In the first concept, Readers use strategies to think and talk in book clubs, readers learn strategies for helping them choose a book with a group of readers, preview it and make a plan for reading it with a small group of readers. Readers learn to notice patterns across a series, the interactions of characters within that series, and the problems and the ways characters deal with these problems. Readers also explore ways to start and add on to conversations ignited from their thinking and jotting during independent reading. |
