December Reading Workshop

Kindergarten Reader’s Workshop in December

 

Unit 5:

Early Reading and Thinking in Levels A-C

Beginning in mid December our kindergarten readers will be learning skills and strategies that will support them in moving through leveled books (levels A through C).

The big goals within in this unit are

·    For students to read conventionally, mastering the skills that are expected at each level.

·    For students to continue working with their reading partners focusing on working together to preview their books, make predictions and decode unknown words.

Ways you can help at home:

·    Have your child read daily for 15 minutes.  They should reread the same books to develop fluency and familiarity with sight words.

·    Remind your child to point when they are reading a leveled text (level A, B, …)

·    If your child gets stuck on a word remind them to look at the picture and the first letter in the word and think about what makes sense. 

·    After your child reads a book have them retell the book by saying what the whole book was about or by saying what happened at the beginning and the end.
