E.E.K.K.

E.E.K.K....There is reading taking place. What is E.E.K.K. you ask? Well if you asked your kiddo all about it they would let you know that it stands for Elbow, Elbow, Knee, Knee or EEKK for short!  The Daily Five program uses literacy components that model the proper way to read to someone. Students need to place themselves in a position that allows them to see the words, hear the reader and stay focused.
As part of our morning literacy time students have opportunities to work on writing, do word work, listen to reading, read to self, read to someone and participate in guided reading groups.  These components make up part of our daily literacy schedule.

During small group instruction students read literature that is at a reading level comparable to their independent reading level.  After finishing a page students discuss what they heard the other reader read in order to help increase their reading comprehension.

Guided reading books

My favorite part of the day is read aloud! We just finished a book that the class LOVED! I intentionally stopped at the best parts each day to get them hooked! It was a success!

Our books bins are stocked! Here is also a great website to check out with your kiddo.
