Shared Reading

 We had a fun and enjoyable time on Thursday with the wonderful girls from fifth class who have very kindly agreed to work with us on a Shared Reading project.
We all worked very hard at becoming more aware of the concepts about print.

We begin reading here and go in this direction

Concepts About Print are the things a child needs to know about books,letters,words, directionality, punctuation and other pre-reading skills in order to be a successful reader. 

  

 The print carries the message and the pictures give us clues

We point to each word as we read.

Name a few letters on the page that you recognise

Identify the front/back cover of the book.  

Point to the first and last words on the page

Thank you 5th class girls for being such wonderful little teachers! See you all again next week!
