Centers this week include:
Read to Self: students pick out a letter or sight word book to work on reading letter sounds, basic sight words, basic CVC words, and even some basic sentences. Students choose books from their personalized book bags. Students read books based on their specific reading level, although some books are slightly above and some are slightly below.
iPad Read to Self/Read to Others: students use Raz Kids to listen to a story, read a story, and answer comprehensive questions about the story. Students can also read a story with their partner or on their own.
Word Work: students choose specific activity to work on that focuses on sight words, rhyming, beginning sounds, reading basic sentences, counting words in a sentence, and uppercase/lowercase letter recognition. A large focus of this center is sight words.
Work on Writing: students will create sentences using a combination of pictures and sight words to help them (I had one _______. That is a _______.)
Listen To Reading: students will listen to (and follow along/track with their fingers) a story and respond by discussing and illustrating how they thought a character felt throughout the story and whether or not their feelings changed throughout the story.
