Reading to Self
Our Kindergarten classroom utilizes the reading strategies of the "Daily Five". These strategies focus on five important components:
Listening to Reading
Reading to Self
Reading to a Partner
Working With Words
Writing Words
This week, the munchkins learned all about the books in our classroom library and how to use them. They learned to choose them wisely, care for them and put them away properly. They also received a special tote bag just for storing those they have chosen for their "Reading to Self" time.
After several days of practice using the books, the munchkins learned that during their "Reading to Self" time, they could read just about anywhere in our room (as long as they weren't hanging from the ceiling). During our first "Reading to Self" practice, we had munchkins reading books everywhere!
Some read at their seats...
Some read to Jesus...
Some preferred the cushy library chairs...
Or the sharing chair...
Some liked a spot on the rug...
Some found a special corner...
Or hid in a private spot behind the pocket chart...
And some even got under the table!
And it all meant one thing...
Reading to yourself can be FUN!
Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
