In this strategy, students read aloud to each other, pairing more fluent readers with less fluent readers. Children who read at the same level may be paired to reread a text that they have already read, for continued understanding and fluency work. In order to increase student fluency, readers need experience reading to and listening to other readers of all kinds. Specifically, lower-level readers benefit from strategies such as Paired Reading by listening to the reading of a higher-level reader. Reading with someone else encourages students to try reading material that may be above their usual reading level, while also building oral skills so that students are more comfortable with their reading.
We had fun this week celebrating Easter in Preschool! We went on a Easter egg hunt around our classroom and found eggs filled with letters. For each letter, we named it, said the sound it made, and a word that started with that letter!
We made an Easter Chick art project!
We also played The Easter Egg Toss and we tossed an egg into a bowl with the letters we have been reviewing! We had to name the letter, say the sound, and a word that started with it!
To practice our counting skills, we counted jelly beans up to ten and then got to eat them!!
And for some art exploration we painted with Easter eggs! We had so much fun this week!
