Cross Checking!

No, we are not learning about hockey moves! We are learning about how to use multiple reading strategies to help us as we read!  This poster has the language that we use when we are stuck on a word!  Cross checking is when we are able to apply all of these strategies together!

We are also working on selecting 'Just right books' to read.  We know most of the words in these books. If a book is too hard, comprehension breaks down and is not the primary focus!  

Most importantly, please continue to read books to your child as they grow into independent readers.  Reading to them promotes comprehension and vocabulary!
