Reading Time. We read the same book over several days so that we learn to think about the story, make predictions, look for inferences, learn about language features and become more confident readers.

Using my eagle eyes.

Thinking hard... what word would make sense in that sentence?

Making connections to other stories that I have read.

Using the pictures to help me work out tricky words.

Reading the book at my own pace.

Staying focused and using my knowledge about initial letters and word endings to help me work out words on my own.
