Good Readers













The Kindergarten class received special reading bags that they have been using in class and taking home a few times a week to practice their reading skills. They learned a lot of strategies that make a great reader.


A Good Reader:


Looks at the pictures to figure out a word they don't know


Point to the words with their finger at they read


Sounds out the words


Looks at the initial letter and/sound of the word to figure out the word


Looks at the ending letter/sound of the word to figure out the word


Reads with partners


Can talk about what they read


Can apply text to self


Makes sure the word makes sense in the sentence read


We learned many others as well as what a main character is in a book and the setting in which the story takes place. The children are having so much fun reading and making so much progress! The are really becoming, "Great Readers"!
