Read to Self Progress

September 14, 2014 By Mary Amoson 2 Comments

I think I am beginning to see the light…
we are making READ TO SELF progress…
Last week, we read to ourselves for 5 minutes… TWICE!
WOO HOO.
Here is the online counter I used to track time.
http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/
I had to snap a quick pic as I was “reading”
If You Give a Cat a Cupcake myself….
so I didn’t take the pic at 5 minutes….
What has helped?
We have enough books in our book boxes that we can actually READ.
{This was an Instagram question-
WHAT ARE THEY ACTUALLY READING?}
YES, we are actually reading books!
I LOVE my ABC Readers!
https://sharingkindergarten.com/product/abc-readers/
They are a huge help to encourage young readers because
they have sight words in each book to focus on and
picture clues to help with other words.
Here is an example for the letter A reader that uses the sight word THE.

I can not wait until we have 15 minutes of stamina!

    These readers are WONDERFUL! Just bought them – they are the perfect thing to help my kiddos practice with stamina! Big words, big pictures, sight words, and we can introduce them as we learn the letters so there will be plenty of "fresh" books in their bins for them to read!

    Also, 15 minutes of stamina sounds wonderful! We got up to 5 one day, I'm hoping to keep practicing and get that higher!!

    I am doing the Daily 5 for the first time this year! Its the beginning of October and we are still around 6min. and 8min. I just want to press fast forward so that they can independently read and I can pull small groups. I am having mine "read the pictures" on picture books. I don't know when I should make the jump to haveing them read easy emergent readers. Have you done Daily 5 in kindergarten before?

This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all at the same time. In science, we dove into the water cycle. On Friday, we got to try some simple (covid friendly) science experiments. We melted colors ice cubes to show states of matter changes. Then we did small cups for sink float. We predicted if each item would sick or float, then tested out. We can choose f2f or virtual this week, so I only had 12 in the room with me and 8 at home.
