Remembering Each Word


We tackled the "tricky" words in our books today!

Connection - we talked about other times we have practiced reading words, and how many of these words have become snap words (words we read automatically) for us. Rereading helps us to remember words.

Teach - (Modeling with a big book)
1) First we, after reading a new book, go back through the pages and find all the words that gave us trouble
2) Then we, practice reading and remembering each word.
3) Last we re read the book again, this time trying to make it sound awesome!

Active Engagemnt - I gave students their own highlighter tape and a brand new "just-right-book" to search and highlight words that gave them trouble. 

Link - We talked about rereading and remembering words.

  3. Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does).
  4. Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.
