Super Reading Partners

This week our class is learning about being a super reading partner. The students watched Mrs. Christie and Ms. Toof partner read a text. We modeled a conversation of connections, explanations and things that made us think! The kids then practiced these rich conversations themselves in their literacy partners.

They chose their own books out of their book boxes and used sentence starters like:
"This part reminds me of..." , "I'm thinking..." , "I'm noticing..." , "I wonder...".

When your child is reading at home for their reading log this week, start a conversation with them about it. See what they can tell you about what makes them think!
