Building a Reading Life- Ideas for home
Here are some ideas for you discuss with your child at home to help support our Building a Reading Life Unit:
Reflect on your Reading Log! Look back and notice your reading habits: What books do you tend to read? Where do you like to read? For how long do you tend to read? Can you make a goal to spice up your reading life at home?
Share great books! Ask your child about our system for finding and sharing great books at school (5 Star Rating System). Remind them to bring great books they read at home to school so they can write a rating card for them and share with the grade!
Give yourself a comprehension check! After reading, have your child stop and ask themselves, "Who was in this part? What was it mostly about? How does it connect with what I read before?" Bonus: Write about it!!
Make predictions! Don't just think about what will happen next, but how it will happen. Be descriptive and use what you have already read and what you know about how most stories tend to go to help you in your predicting.
Keep words that we know in mind! Remind students to be on the lookout for their Word Work words while they read. Also, remind them to not skip over unknown words, but to mark them and either use context clues or ask what they mean later.
