During this unit, we will be creating a community of avid readers who read together, share their favorite books together, and talk about books all the time! We will be diving into fiction stories sand learning deeply about characters, settings, and plots. Kids will also be organizing "reading playdates" where they will invent fun literacy-related things to do with their friends and also spending MORE time reading in class. During this time, it is not about how many books you read, but how deeply you read them. What connections are you making with the storyline or the characters? How do you think the characters are feeling and has that changed throughout the book? |
As we know, now all level C-G books have the most amazing storylines to follow or the greatest characters to latch onto, so, I am excited to announce that we will be starting our first chapter book read-aloud after the break! We will be diving into Roald Dahl's, "Matilda" :) This is a great opportunity for the whole class to be listening along to the same book and talking deeply with partners and small groups using a familiar text to everyone. |
