Our students are making great improvements on their book and print awareness skills. Here are some ideas of things you can practice with them while you read together.

-Show me the first letter in a word -Show me the last letter in a word. -Put one letter between your pointer fingers -Put two letters between your pointer fingers -put one word between your pointer fingers -put two words between your pointer fingers. -what is the period for at the end of the sentence.

Ask questions about the story after you read it. Who are the characters, What is the setting, Was there a problem in the story, How did they solve it, Tell the order of events in the story (sequence), Did you like the story and why or why not?
