Friday

Nonfiction readers take everything that they have learned about their topic and teach those around them. In order to talk like an expert, readers can:

• Use Keywords
• Use their Explaining Voice
• Show their Jots / Parts of a Page
• Make a Movie in Their Mind Parts of the Text and Act it Out!

Readers should be independently reading a nonfiction text for at least 20 minutes following the daily focus being explored.

• Nonfiction Book
• Post-It's / Reading Notebook

• Talk the Talk! Read to Learn the Lingo
• Ways To Say More
• Be a Tour Guide

Reading to Grow Ideas and Knowledge

We kindly encourage our young readers to keep their reading life in fiction texts lively, by spending additional time with fiction texts that are just right for them. Students should spend at least 20 minutes reading their fiction books.

Today's Focus: Lesson Learned

As readers, we can track the lesson or lessons characters learn throughout the book. As you're reading, think about what lesson your character or characters are learning. Today when you're done reading, think about what your characters are learning. Why do you think that? What happened in the book that helped your character learn that. Try to do a 4-start jot!
