Reader's Toolbox

Today Mrs. Wanke put on her reading detective hat!  She told us readers are like detectives...they are always looking for clues to help them be better readers.

Reading detectives us strategies to help them read.  They have strategies to help them Comprehend, to read Accurately and Fluently, and to Expand their vocabulary.  In our room we have the C.A.F.E board to help organize all our strategies or tools!

We added our very first accuracy strategy....Get your lips ready.  We have a little friend to remind us to get our lips ready.  Her name is Lips the Fish.

Lips the Fish reminds us to get our mouth ready to say the first sound(s) of the word.   We practiced this strategy reading the story Shark in the Park.

We did a great job getting our mouth read for each word. We LOVED yelling, "THERE'S A SHARK IN THE PARK!"
