Comprehension Strategies for Reading

Room 3 has also been working on reading strategies using
CAFE:
Comprehension
Accuracty
Fluency
Expanding Vocabulary

We are developing strategies in each of these areas
and will work towards creating our own goals for reading in these areas.
In developing Comprehension, 
one strategy we have learned 
is to Check for Understanding while reading.
This is when we take a pause during reading and think about
who the story is about and what is happening
in the story.
Here is some great information for parents to help with working on comprehension during reading times at home:

Wishing everyone a wonderful break and  see you in the new year! Love, Ms. McCullough

Then we came up with interesting ways to end our story such as the character's feelings, a lesson learned or a reflection. We are very proud of our hard work and look forward to sharing our stories at conferences with you in March!
