Teaching Reading Tools

Readers need to have lots of tools in their tool belts.

During the first month of school I immersed my readers in tons of books that help to build fluency. 

Now it's time to add more tools to their tool belts as they begin coming across longer tricky words in their reading.

To introduce these tools, I made a connection to my weekend fence project and how just one tool may not solve the problem...just like in reading!



My attempt with hammer failed, so I had to get out my power drill.  I wore the tool belt during my reading lesson as we discussed that reader's need lots of tools to try!



Parents...if you are like me, you learned one tool.  Sound it out. I DO NOT USE THIS TOOL!  I'm hoping to teach you along with the children how to help them use more effective tools.  Don't feel bad if you have been saying this for years.
I did as a mom!

Here is a list of tools that I will be teaching.



If you'd like some lessons, then come and in and I'll be glad to help!
