Reading has taken off in our classroom! We continue to build our reading to self stamina daily and now are reading about 15 minutes at a time. This week we learned the procedure and expectations for reading to someone. As you can see from the picture they are loving it! So far our stamina for reading to someone is about 5 minutes. We tend to get noisy enjoying books together!
When reading with someone we learned that the listener has a very important job - to listen and to THINK! When the reader gets to the end of the page the listener needs to check their understanding of what was read by saying "I heard you read..." and then share what was read. The reader has to check the listener and if need be go back and read the page again to help the listener understand.
