How cute are these readers? They have been working diligently on building their reading stamina. As of today, K1 can read for 12 minutes! They began practicing reading for two minutes to show they could read the whole time, stay in one spot, don't sit by a friend, read quietly and treat the books kindly. If your wondering how your child is "reading" even though they're not yet reading...I'll clarify. There are three ways to read a book:
1. Read the pictures
2. Read the words
3. Retell a familiar story
They also look for "popcorn words" or other words they know. Each week they get to choose 6 new books (3 on their level and 3 free choice) along with their "Song and Poetry Journal" that contains all the songs we are learning. As for now, they keep their Library book in there, too.
