This week in Reader's Workshop, we are working on buddy reading, or reading with a partner. We began by talking about how partners sit when they are reading together. We call it EEKK (elbow, elbow, knee, knee), just like if you saw something scary, you would sit close to someone and say "EEKK"!
Here are some reading buddies sitting EEKK:
Today we discussed how partners plan out their reading. Before starting a book, it's important for partners to have a plan and decide how they will read the book. On the rug, a student and I modeled each way, and then reading buddies went off to practice on their own. I was so impressed how well everyone did with this!
And of course, we are still working to build our reading stamina. As of today, we're up to 13 minutes. I am so proud!
