Reading Workshop Focus:
Readers use many different strategies to solve unknown words. We are word solvers!
Reading Strategies: Eagle Eyes (picture clues), Lips the Fish (get your lips ready to read the first letter of the word), Listening Lion (listen to your self read and ask "Does that make sense?", Flippy the Dolphin (flip the vowel sounds - long/short), Chunky Monkey (look for word chunks or parts you already know), Stretchy the Snake (stretch the word out slowly), Skippy the Kangaroo (skip the unknown word and read on, then reread).
Reading Fluency - Readers will attack the unknown words and then go back and reread like they've always known the word.
Readers pay attention to ending punctuation marks.
READ, READ, READ!
