Dear Grade Fives,
This year, we worked on a variety of reading activities with the learning intention of helping you to better understand what you read. I would like to refresh your memory about some of these activities.
tracking your reading: practicing two different reading strategies a week
daily reading: variety of times throughout the day to read
supported reading: nonfiction, often four readings: I read, you read, paired reading, individual reading
notes to paragraph: taking notes on a selection and rewriting notes as a paragraph
novel study: independent activity including finding details, supporting ideas, chapter summaries
literature circles: reading, completing tasks, and then discussing your work with peers
Please choose at least one activity and tell me why you think it helped you the most to understand what you read.
As always, I look forward to your thoughtful responses.
Love, Mrs. French
