Getting Started
Our first time reading from our individual book boxes started with a lesson on three different ways to read a book.
What Do Strong Readers Do?
Readers, (like runners) warm up their minds before they read a book. They look at the cover, read the title, and ask themselves, Hmmm... what might this book be about?
They can do a quick picture walk, scan the pages, and think about what is going on in the pictures.
This helps the reader warm up their minds. They are preparing themselves to read the words on the pages.

Readers Build Good Habits
Learning about all the things that readers do.
Here are a few...
They warm themselves up by looking at the cover and title, and doing a picture walk.
They do something at the END of the book! They can reread it, think about a favorite part, or retell the story to themselves.
They read more and more.
They reread to smooth out their first time "bumpy voice" and turn it into a "story-teller voice".

Getting Ready to Read Nonfiction Texts
Readers get themselves ready to read in many ways, and take their time, studying each page to learn about a topic.
Reading Non Fiction
Readers Can Read To Learn More About the World

First graders LOVE learning about the world around them, and they LOVE reading non fiction. Non fiction texts read differently than fiction. One way children learn how to navigate non fiction is by learning about Text Features.
