We plan on reading, Tacky the Penguin and the students fell in love with the main character. Who wouldn't? We looked closely at character traits in this book. This is a great book to make "come alive"! We had a full class set of Three Cheers for Tacky so we can partner read and act it out as a class together. Hooray! Such fun!
I have the other titles and found some literature response sets. Students will partner read the books and respond in writing to the book. I will be sure to model how to return to the text to find the answer, to use the text as a resource to spell words, to use the words in the question to "get a running start" to your answer. This class of students do well reading so I want to integrate writing as much as possible. Students worked with a partner. We call them Team 1, Team 2, etc..
We used these books to monitor our comprehension this week. We continued with our unit of study in reading...
How can you help at home? When your child reads, ask a few questions and have them return to the text to show you the part that supports their answer. Such an important thing to do! They have returned to the text to reread their favorite part, so it should not be such a stretch to return to the text to find and support their answers. This helps students with test taking, too!
