Estrategias de lectura: ¡Seamos detectives de palabras!

In this class, the students will practice reading strategies for words with short/long vowel sounds and other word patterns.  The teacher will encourage the students to pretend to be "word detectives" as we recognize and identify patterns in words and decode them.  We will participate in games including interactive word board games, rhyming games, sorting words, and more!  We will also practice reading words in word families, spelling the words, and writing letters correctly.  We will work toward reading words with automaticity and begin to read sentences fluently.  The students will be given verbal praise, encouragement, and rewards throughout the lesson to promote participation.  This class is appropriate for students in Kindergarten through second grade.
