Our students are using the new informational texts to practice identifying the main idea and key details. They're learning how to find evidence in the text to support their thinking. These lessons help them become stronger critical readers who can understand and explain nonfiction texts with confidence.\r\n Reading time in our classroom is interactive and joyful! Students participate in buddy reading, where they take turns reading aloud and discussing what they've learned. We also enjoy whole-group reading, which allows us to model fluency, pause for discussion, and explore vocabulary together. Our reading block is full of collaboration, curiosity, and thoughtful conversations about what we read.\r\n Several students who love learning about real-world topics are especially drawn to the new nonfiction magazines. They're excited to share interesting facts with their classmates. Even some reluctant readers are getting more engaged because the topics connect to their interests.
