Reading in Room 9 and 10

At reading time we work together with room 10. 

We share a big book and our weekly poem in Room 10 to start our reading time. 

Then we split into the two classes. Right now, the Ants, the Butterflies, the Ladybugs and the Bees work in Room 10 with Mrs MacBeth. The Dragonflies, the Grasshoppers, the Snails and the Spiders work in room 10 with Mrs Buchanan. 

Here are some of the things we do to help us with our reading. 

"Read to Self"

This is quiet practice of our reading book and other stories. 

"Listen to Reading"

We listen to stories being read to us. 

"Word Work"

We play games and do activities to help us read and write high frequency words. 

When we are stuck on a word we are learning to:

• Say the sounds in a word
• Read on or back
• Use the picture for clues
• Look for words within words

We are also learning to retell the story.
