January 1, 2008 RH Intervention Group Update

It’s a new year and goals are being set! Students are eager to show off new skills and improve those that cause them frustration. Partner reading is one of the students’ favorite things to do. It is always exciting to watch them as they remind each other to use their strategies. They are also quite supportive when their partner gets frustrated. Encouraging each other to try again is a part of their daily routine.

Next week students will be starting new stories. Third grade will be reading Animals in Winter, as the fourth graders begin The Wonder of Wolves. Fifth graders will start the week with Sunken Treasure. As the students learn to apply their strategies, the texts are beginning to get longer and more challenging.

Ask your child which story is their favorite and why they like it.
