This week during Reading Workshop we started a new reading unit: Super Powers! To begin the unit, I read the class the book:
Ten Rules of Being a Superhero. In our dramatic play area we will be turning our house into a Superhero Training Camp. It will there that the kids will be training to be kinder, stronger, smarter, and braver!
During this new reading unit I will be teaching the children that they are now super readers with super powers. Readers have super powers to look, point, and read everything they can! Within each of these reading powers is a tool or strategy for reading. They received their superhero capes on Tuesday and they were so excited to try them out!
This morning, Reader Man, left us a note in a web. He also left us special pointer tools for reading. We went around the room and school using these pointers to read words and sentences. We were so excited that there were many "snap" words or sight words that we have been learning.
We will be learning a lot of new reading strategies (powers) within the next two months. I will be sending home a book in a bag for homework soon. A paper will be included in this bag to help you help your child activate their reading powers. Your child will be super excited to use their reading powers with you at home as they read books to you.
