Reading is an everyday skill that will empower individuals as it used in every subject and out in the community. These materials, such as the flexible seating - wobble cushions, tilt stools, hexagon floor cushions, and stools will allow readers to read around the room on different "comfy spaces" to get hooked and locked in a book. Phonics, fluency, accuracy, prosody, and comprehension are a few of the vital skills we will master to become proficient readers! Having the materials - highlighter tape, letter stamps, and magnetic blends will give these students daily opportunities to learn about words and how to identify parts within a word and read phrases to sentences to paragraphs to chapter books. As they become more skilled, these readers will be able to use these supplies independently while reading books at their level while at literacy stations (use of paper trays). Along with learning how to read more complex words and texts, our students will also become authors and write stories with this same type of complexity they are reading. We will be "blowing through" pencils as we will put our thoughts/ideas and imagination to paper. When we learn about new sounds, we will watch what our mouth does as we say these words with an individual mirror to assure we are saying the word parts correctly. As we become better readers and writers, we will set goals and track our progress to assure we are mastering what we need to in 2nd grade. Students will have the opportunity to earn rewards and pencils from the prize box as they become goal crushers!
