The students have been reviewing reading strategies that they were introduced to in Kindergarten. These strategies are used when they come to an unknown word. Some of the strategies are:
Getting our mouth ready ( sometimes the word just pops out!)
Using picture clues
S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g out the word
Looking for smaller words inside the word
Asking ourselves: Does that make sense? If not, go back and try again
We also have been practicing determining the main idea of a story. This is difficult for the students because they are used to retelling a story and giving lots of details. When we ask for the main idea, however, we just want a sentence or two that tells what the story is all about.
