Read to Self

Today the children learned about the Read to Self component of the Daily 5. We began by creating an I-chart. The children came up with appropriate Read to Self behaviors to write down on our chart. We not only talked about the role of the children during Read to Self but the role of the teacher. View a picture of our I-chart below. 

After creating the I-chart, the children practiced Read to Self and worked on building their stamina. They made it to 10 minutes today! Below is a video clip showcasing the children engaged in appropriate Read to Self behaviors.
