Building better Readers

Hello-

We started our third grade ELA work by focusing on Metacognition and thinking about our thinking while reading. We've also discussed and modeled REAL reading versus FAKE reading. 

One lesson we did has us making Reading Salad-combining text and our thinking to make real reading.  Modeling this lesson with the kids, showing how I was thinking while reading, and then including their thinking while I read the text really solidified their understanding of Metacognition. 

We have also been working hard on building our Reading Stamina and this past week we were able to beat our first quarter goal of 15 minutes of sustained reading! 

Way to go Heroes!

Have a SUPER day!

Mr. Font
