One of the first Daily Five activities introduced is Read to Self. Read to Self, teaches students to read independently and enables them to practise some of the skills and strategies worked on together as a class. 1M started by learning about the three ways to read a book; read the pictures, read the words or retell a story you have already read. After this we created a chart and identified why it is important to read and how it should look in our room. Here are some of the things we came up with.
Read to Self
Why?
To become better readers
Because it is fun
To learn new words
How it should look
Get started straight away
Everyone reading silently
Eyes on your own book
Stay in one spot
Build stamina
Here are some of the lovely pictures Mrs Downes took of us practising Read to Self. Thanks Mrs Downes!
