Special Visitor!

Today in reading workshop we had a special visitor.  "Clara the Careful Clarifier" stopped by to teach/review two reading strategies.  Clara teaches strategies to help readers "clarify" unknown words.  Today she modeled Eagle Eye (look at the pictures for clues) and Lips the Fish (get your lips ready to say the 1st sound).  The students loved her southern accent and practiced the two skills during read-to-self time.

 I wonder if she'lll come back tomorrow???

Meet "Clara the Careful Clarifier"

Clara is using her magnifying glass to clarify a word using Lips the Fish and Eagle Eye.
