Reading Strategies

We are coming into the long stretch!  It is hard to believe that just 8 months ago my students were barely reading and writing.  They have made amazing progress throughout the school year.  They are learning to read increasingly difficult books, or emerging reader texts.  These books are less predictable, have fewer pictures and more words on a page. I have been teaching them what to do when they come to a difficult word while reading.  Here is a copy of the reading strategies book mark that each child has in their reading basket.

And here is a video of our class working with some of these strategies.  I hope that this will be helpful for you as you continue to read emergent books with your child!
