Easy Books We Make and Read
Click here to see all the books we made this year!


May 15   Miss Ganley showed us a nonfiction book about owls
then we read a fictional Reading A-Z book called Who, Who, Who?
We discussed whether or not a real owl could do the things in the story.

 
May 13   Birds
We made an easy factual book about bird characteristics.
We highlighted the words "can" and "have."

In our small group, each child reads each book out loud using strategies
to figure out the words such as, getting your mouth ready, using picture clues,
looking for little words in big words, and remembering sight words.
At home, your child should read each book out loud to a grownup
then should add the title to our monthly Read-To-Me form.
Keep all the books we make in your "Book Treasure Box"
so your child can practice reading anytime!

Our Reading Teacher is Mr. Twaddell!
We learn that letters make sounds and pictures give us clues.
We play with the letter sounds and learn how to rhyme words.
We learn how to s-t-r-e-t-c-h words to help us spell when we write.
