Laminated Star

stars abound...

As part of their literacy curriculum, the school employs Guided Reading as a tool for the kids' development. Needless to say, we're so proud of the munchkin. On top of that, the little girl was genuinely excited she got the certificate, which I take to mean she's at least enjoying what she's been doing. We, the oh-so-broken records, drill into her the importance of learning how to read particularly during lazy afternoons. Feedback from her teacher is very good and it makes us want to 'see' her in action more...what we'd give to be a fly on the wall in her classroom. Congratulations my dear!!

Guided Reading:
... In small groups the children learn to read and appreciate books, both fiction and non fiction. ...expose the children to phonics and high frequency words, and to engage the minds and emotions of the children. ...the children learn how to tackle unfamiliar vocabulary, how to use punctuation when reading for an audience and how different font styles are used for effect. ...encouraged to discuss texts, make predictions as to outcomes of stories ...
