Today I did echo reading with some children and they are doing well. We are looking for words we know when we are reading. So with echo reading the adult reads the sentence and then the child repeats it, you do this for the whole book and then the child re-reads the whole book after back to the adult. Then try to see if you can get the child to find words...so...Can you find the word go? The children really like this game at school and they look forward to it when we are reading.
We are reading another Black Lagoon book today!
We are also working on our writing right now too! We are really trying to get the children to see the purpose of writing. When children start to write they don't really know why they are writing. We will be breaking up into writing groups so that each child is in a group that suits their needs. When Ms. Hebert is here that gives us an opportunity to have more adults help with this task.
