Partner Reading

Working together as partners is a valuable component of our reader's workshop.  Check out all the "habits" our readers have developed already in first grade.  Students are learning how to work together, talk together, and get more out of books.  First graders are learning to not only read to a partner, but are encouraged to give book introductions, help their peer when stuck, and grow their ideas about the story being read together.  Although not completely independent yet, we are growing as a community as we practice these skills together.  INQUIRE with your child what they can do when they read with a partner!
