Last week during our picture walk of Earthquake Terror ,we learned that reading is thinking. We know that good readers are always thinking about what the author is saying and about how you, the reader, is thinking, wondering, and feeling.
Readers think about the setting, the characters, the plot, the author's style and the choice of words.
This week during independent reading, notice if you chose the right book.
Talk to a friend about how you chose the book you are reading.
Let's help each other choose just right books!
Happy Reading
You can also find out if your book is:
ReplyDelete-a holiday book/ easy read
-'just right'
-challenging book
by using this simple rule called the 'rule of thumb':
1. Open the book at any page and start reading silently.
2.Every time you read an unfamiliar word, put your finger down.
3. If you hit 5 words (using 4 fingers and 1 thumb) it means that this book is a challenge for you right now.
Great tip.
