We Love Reading!

Did you know that we enjoy a variety of reading in 6M? Everyday we have some form of Independent, Shared, Guided, Read Aloud, or Buddy reading.

Independent: The student reads a text on his/her own

Shared: The class reads together and follows along with their own copy of the text.

Guided: A small group reads and discusses a text with the teacher.

Read Aloud: The teacher reads the text to the students.

Buddy: A student reads a text with another student.

The benefits of reading are many. Here are a few:

-Enhanced Knowledge

-Reduced Stress

-Increase in Vocabulary

-Improved Analytical Thinking

-Improved Memory

-Improved Writing Skills

-Helps Prioritize Goals

Reading is an activity that should be done at school and at home. Encourage your children to read on a regular basis. Find out what they like. Reading together = great bonding time.

  1. Maybe your class could help make some suggestions as to what books we should be looking to purchase for next year, they look like they know books!
