Reading and Writing Anchor Charts

These are the charts your child has helped create in class.  Please feel free to refer to these charts as your child is reading and writing at home!

 

 

While we focus on picking out just right books, developing a love for books is important and sometimes that means your child might want to read a book that is to hard for him/her at the moment.  Instead of saying "no, you can't read that," we have talked about different ways to read a book where the words might be too difficult.  You can tell a story through the pictures, you can read the words or look for words you know and/or you can retell the story if it was one that you have heard before. 

 

Our word attack strategies!  Look for a copy of this coming home in your child's take home folder soon!  If your child comes to  tricky word while they are reading, please encourage them to try these strategies first before you tell them the word.

 

Writing Anchor Charts: We are working on being brave writers and trying to add more details to our stories and learning different ways to spell words so our readers can read our stories!
