Reading
This week we start our Wonders reading program. Our stories are “Bruno’s New Home” and “Wolf!”The comprehension strategy that we are focusing on is Visualization. By using this strategy, we should be able to create our own image of what is happening in a story- it’s a movie in our minds! The more descriptive the text, the more detailed our mental image can be. We will be focusing on the phonetic patterns of the short ‘a’ and ‘i’.

This is going to be an exciting year!

Work hard. Be kind.
