Read to Self

Have you wondered exactly what Read to Self looks like in our classroom?

We can use the anchor chart above to remind us how to choose a Good Fit Book-a book that is just right for us to read!

We can use this anchor chart located on our classroom bulletin board to remind us that there are three ways to read a book.

We can use this chart to remind us what all students are expected to be doing independently during Read to Self time while Mrs. Weegar is conducting a guided reading group with a small group of students.

We have been practicing this skill every single day since the first week of school.  Each day, we practice for an additional minute in order to build our reading stamina.  I would say that we have definitely got the hang of what is expected out of us during Read to Self time!

I am so proud of my awesome first grade readers!
