Reading Rocks!!!

We have been focusing and listening to our inner conversation as we read, and we have been practicing many strategies to help us with this.  Writing down our brain tracks, using, fix-up strategies, recognizing the signals of our new learning, and recording our new learning and questions on Post-It notes are some things we have learned.  We rock!!! Tell us your favorite strategies and how you have used them in the class or at home.  It is great that we are becoming active thinkers and questioners as we read.

    1. My reading strategy is to reread.For example, if I don't understand something I reread it two or three times.I would find something like that in my Mom's books, and then I reread to understand.

  3. I love to read. I have thousands of books in my house. I have read most of them twice. Reading is a great way to use your imagination and go places that are only in your dreams. If I don't understand what I am reading I like to reread our try to visualize what is in the text.I think it is great to have lessons in this at school because it will really help you in the future.

  5. I love reading. it is my third favorite subject. It is sometimes hard to find a good book for me. Thats why I use the "re-read" skill. So when I don't get something I will re-read it. And if I don't get it again I will read it again. If I don't get it for a third time, it is not a good book for me.

  6. When I am reading a good book about anything really, I say in my head WOW!, O.M., I'm scared, or that's crazy. Here's something really crazy about me, sometimes when I'm really into a fiction book I will start reading aloud.

  7. Reading is one of my favorite subjects in school and we have learned lots of strategies in school.First if you are reading book about tornadoes and you wanted to know where most of them happen you can just go to the index and it will say where most tornadoes happen and the page number .Second if you are stuck on a word you can go to the glossary for the meaning.Reading is fun

  8. When I read, I find a book that is not too hard for me or not to easy for me, I find a book that is just right for me. I read the book and if I do not understand I read over the book until i understand.

  9. I like to read but its still not my favorite.The strategy I use most is the reread strategy.You use this strategy when you don't know what a sentence means.The kind of books I like to read are realistic fiction because its all ways very interesting.Thats the strategy I mostly use.

  11. I love to read a whole lot because...reading helps me learn cool facts and information. When I do not understand something I read it over again. My favorite type of book is fiction because...I like made up stories.I also like writing my own books and decorating them. Most of my books have dogs in them.

  12. Reading is fantastic. One of the strategies I like to use is reading over and over. Sometimes I get so into a book I don't ever wont to put it down. One of my favorite things to read is mysteries I like it because you never know what is going to happen
    next. The thing about reading that I like the most is it makes you calm down.

  15. I relly love to read! At night when my mom tells me to go to sleep I put the book down and when she leaves I keep reading . My favorite two sires are Geronimo Stilton and Judy moody. fantasy books are my favorite type of books to read. Some times I don't get something so I keep reading and I figure it out. If I get stuck on a sentence I reread and then I get it.

  17. My favorite strategy is predicting. Because I like to know what happens later on in the story. It's always good to know what happens later in the story then you will understand it better.
