Read aloud is one of our favorite times of the day. We get to sit back, relax, and enjoy a story. Of course it's not all fun and games! We have to be listening because we always write about our read aloud books in our Reader Response Journals the next day.
 | Today we started the book Frindle by Andrew Clements. We've only read the first two chapters, but we're hooked. Here's what we know so far...Nick Allen is a fifth grade student in Mrs. Granger's class. He might be a trouble maker, but we're not sure yet. Mrs. Granger is a hard teacher who really likes her dictionary. We're not sure what a Frindle is, but we're excited to find out. Stay tuned! |
This is a great skill to practice at home. Ask your child questions about the books you read. Try these: What happened in that story? What do you think will happen next? What is the problem in this story? What is the solution? What is your favorite part? Why?
