Independent Reading

Throughout the week I try to schedule in some Independent reading time for our class. This allows the students to look at their library book or another leveled book of their choice. They also are building their ability to work independently for longer periods of time. We are up to 10 minutes of Independent Reading time.

Most of the kids are finding their sight words in the book and they are beginning to use their decoding skills (sounding words out, using picture clues, etc.) to read.

I allow the students to choose where they want to read as long as they are being safe and are making good choices. They looked so sweet that I had to take a few pictures.
