3321 m and w

ch 10 and 11. Reading aloud is great because it opens up the childrens imagination. Kids can hear the written words dramatically to improve their inner ear, so that as they turn to their own silent reading , they will model the expression you used. That makes sense to me! It's important to know what we want to read to our students and why. A good text for guided reading should support children's use of the skills and strategies they know and can use easily.


Follow me Mittens by Lola M. Schaefer. This book is about Mittens and Nick going for a walk. They go past trees and over logs and then Mitten watches a butterly and gets carried away with chasing it. He finally realizes that he's lost and starts meowing for help. Nick finally hears him and saves him.


No Roses for Harry by Gene Zion. Harry is a black dog with white spots and recieved a sweater with roses on it for his birthday. The little girl put the sweater on Harry and it fit perfect, the only problem is that Harry didn't like the sweater. He tried to loose the sweater but it kept being returned to him, his owner realizes he doesn't like it and gives it to a bird for her nest, it's a cute comical story.
