Current Reading News

Hopefully by now you have seen the reading log folder coming home nightly (except Wednesday's when I collect it). Another part of our reading workshop you will want to review is your child's reader's notebook. Every week we will have a skill focus. In class I introduce the skill on Monday by making a chart together with the class. Students are to copy the chart in their reader's notebook. Other activities you should be seeing in the notebook are vocabulary words and definitions and answers to the questions at the end of the story in the textbook. Here are some pictures of a few of the charts we have done so far in class.








This is our current reading focus skill.

Students will have a test Friday Sept. 28 on Author's Purpose, weekly vocabulary and genre. Students should have brought home a study guide on genre (types of writing) to study.
