Our Toolboxes are Full!

Room 408 has been working hard to fill up our Reading Strategy Toolbox!  As we read, we really try to pay attention to everything we do to figure out tricky words in our books.  At the end of our Reading Workshop, we share what we are learning about ourselves as readers.

Here are the strategies that we have in our toolbox:

Mr. Milan stopped by before school one day to fix our faucet that has been dripping.

As I watched him, I realized that he has a big toolbox full of different tools, just like our Reading Strategy Toolboxes!  He assured me that he didn't mind if I snapped a few shots. :)

He tried out a few different tools until he found one that works--just like we do when we read!

Sometimes he even had to use two different tools at the same time--just like we do when we read! 

Thanks for helping us learn more about reading, Mr. Milan!
