Reading is a Hoooooot!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Reading is a Hoot Night. We had lots of fun and it was a great informative event. We learned that Emerging Readers can read in three ways…

1. Read TO someone:

-talk about the story

-point to the words

-make a guess at unknown words; use the pictures as beginning letter

2. Read WITH someone:

-Interpret the pictures

-Look for popcorn words

-Take turns reading paragraphs or pages

-Each person read a chapter's parts

3. Listen to someone or something READ!

-Read with an older sibling or parent

-Books on tape, CD or apps

-Tumblebooks

Special thanks to our literacy coach, Emily Darby for putting together such a wonderful event!
