HABITS OF A GOOD READER MAKING PREDICTIONS I’m guessing that … Maybe ... SYNTHESIZING In the end … Oh, I get it … • MAKING CONNECTIONS • That reminds me of … • I know about this from … • ASKING QUESTIONS • I wonder … • Why? • VISUALIZING • I can see … • I can hear/touch/taste/feel … Try a new strategy each day!
LITERACY: TELLING STORIES Do I give my child the chance to read a story to me using: • the print • picture clues • his memory to help him make sense of the story? Do I do the same?
QUESTIONS TO ASK MYSELF … • Does my child enjoy the book we are reading? How do I know? • Do I encourage my child to "pretend read," joining in where he has memorized a word or phrase? • When I ask questions, am I giving my child enough time to think and answer? • Do I connect ideas in the book to things that are familiar to my child? Do I notice if he does this on his own? • Do I let my child know how much I like his ideas and encourage him to tell me more? • Do I point out letters, such as the first letter of his name?
