We have been so busy during our Reading Workshop Block. Students have been introduced and practicing a variety of reading strategies to use when stuck on a word. Please encourage them to use them at home!
Below is a list of some fun strategies:
1. Lips the Fish - get your lips ready for the 1st sound.
2. Eagle Eye - look at the pictures.
3. Stretchy Snake - stretch out the sounds.
4. Hoppy the Frog- hop over the word and finish the sentence. Go back and reread.
5. Chunky Monkey - chunk the word to find little words you know.

The past few weeks we have been focusing on retelling a story to better understand what we are reading. Your child has been practicing this at school during read to self and partner read time.
A "good" retell includes:
1. Naming characters
2. Setting
3. Problem
4. Solution
5. Discuss overall theme of story
