Reading in Room 6

We have our reading sessions 4 x per week for an hour. We start with a 'hotspot' on the mat where we practice our sounds, decode words and comprehend stories and pictures; teaching the strategies we use in reading. There are fun activities set up around the room that develop literacy skills as well as fine motor skills, oral language and social interactions. Each child is called up in their group to read with the teacher. Together we look at the front cover and make predictions about what the story is about. We point to each word as it is read. At the end of the book we discuss the main story line and comprehend what we have read.
