Super Readers!

In Reading Workshop today we practiced thinking about what is happening in a book and pointing to the pictures and writing as we read. It is our new reading "superpower!" To use this reading superpower a reader must follow these simple steps:

First point to the pictures

Then point to the writing

Last use the two to read the story that goes with those pictures and words

After a short demo we put it to the test with partners and it works! We used writing from our very own writing workshop folders which made it all the more meaningful that our own writing is readable with this great new power of ours :)

This lesson and activity will help us accomplish the kindergarten common core standard RL.K.7 - with prompting and support describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear
