As I begin to learn more about your child as a reader and find out what he or she knows and can do in this area, our class is learning what it looks like to be a first grade reader. Students are learning behaviors that first graders show during their reading to self time. Students practice these behaviors as they begin to develop first grade "habits." INQUIRE with your child what it looks like and sounds like during reading and what habits they are developing (ex. take a sneak peak, do something at the end). Reading workshop happens EVERY DAY, and students are immersed in books - on their own, with partners, in small groups, as well as during whole class teaching.
