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.
