Holiday Reading Goals

Without practice, we lose the ability and skills! This is true of running, cooking, solving word problems, and of course, READING! Today 4HR had a read-in, where we practiced our stamina and enjoyed reading!

After reading for 30 minutes, we made a list of MUST Dos to help us read:

-Be open to new books and genres

-Pick Just Right books

-Finish reading most books you start

-Understand the book - make sense of what it says by recording our thinking

-Thinking about the words - use in the word, in the sentence, in the paragraph to help us understand unknown words

-Fluency! pay attention to punctuation

-Stamina - read for a long time

-Concentration - get hooked in

-Practice retelling

We then made goals! Some people made goals about how many books to read, or what kinds of books to read, or what kinds of strategies to use. What are your holiday reading goals?
