This is the reading and writing program we have begun implementing in our classroom. The choices are: 1. Read to Self 2. Work on Writing 3. Word Work 4. Listen to Reading 5. Read to Someone We have begun Read to Self and Work on Writing. We have been using our "Just Right" book boxes, whisper phones, and finding cozy spots in the room to focus. We have been practicing building our reading stamina. We started small with 2 minutes of reading and we are now up to 7 minutes of reading independently. We know there are 3 ways to read a book: 1. Read the pictures 2. Read the words 3. Retell what we read We also use our first CAFE strategy and check for understanding (comprehension). Yay to our wise owls! We have been working so hard. Here are some pictures.

I love what you are doing here with the website. That takes some time to put in every picture and label them. Do you find that parents use the site a lot? My be something I look into fo my own classes in the high school. Cool stuff.

Thank you! Last year I had a select few of parents that would use it often and that was good enough for me. Maybe more than what I realized.
