Read to Self

Read to Self is the first part of Daily 5 that we are learning.  We learned that we read to our self (practice) because that is what makes us a better reader!  Just like we would practice for soccer.  The students jobs during Read to Self are to...pick a spot where they won't talk or touch, get started right away, keep their eyes on the book, read the whole time, stay in one spot, and use a quiet whisper voice.  My jobs while they are doing this are to work with a group of students, work with one student, or to listen to students read.  Today we modeled what it would look like and then we practiced increasing our stamina to do these jobs.
