Two Thoughts of the Week

“This was my only and my constant comfort. When I think of it, the picture always rises in my mind, of a summer evening, the boys at play in the churchyard, and I sitting on my bed, reading as if for life.”
— Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

“‘Come with me,’ Mom says.
To the library.
Books and summertime
go together.”
— Lisa Schroeder, I Heart You, You Haunt Me

Guest Expert of the Week

Reading with Ms. Meenu

Strategies for Read Aloud:

Read aloud is the ideal venue to consistently showcase and reflect on the strategies proficient readers use. These are the strategies to be used while reading:

·         Make meaningful connections.

·         Predict.

·         Ask questions.

·         Visualize 

·         Infer

·         Determine Importance

If you make strategic reading and thinking about your thinking the norm, students will rise to the occasion. It’s been noticed that learners are more engaged in Read aloud when they are challenged to process text at a deeper level. The expectation is that everyone can listen and dig into the text to try to elevate their understanding through the questions. Interactions and discussions are encouraged within children

Happy Reading!
