Our Skype With Madison


Today we had a Skype call with Miss Spink's little cousin Madison.

In reading we are learning to identify and use strategies that 'good readers' use when reading. To do this we need to be able to listen to other readers and ourselves to identify the things we do that make us 'good readers'. To help us do this we listened to Madison read and were able to discuss the strategies she was using. We then discussed what possible reading goals we could give Madison if we were her teachers.

Read the document below to see what we noticed and found out.



What strategies do you use well when reading?

What is your reading goal?

What strategies do you think you need to work on?

    4. Dear Miss Spink,

      I always self correct when the passage of the text does not sound right.Elysse makes sure she extends her vocabulary by finding new words and the definition.

      My reading goal is Back up and re-read to make meaning of the text.Elysse makes connections by using the decode.

      I need to work on asking questions before during and after reading.Elysse needs to work on making deep connections with the text.

      Regards Chelsea and Elysse

  3. Hi Miss Spink,

    The strategies that I use when I am reading is puntuation, reading fluently and asking myself author and me questions, also summarising.

    I need to work on asking myself Author and me questions, when I am reading. I also need to work on focusing on my reading.

    My reading goal is Comprehension- I have to ask myself about Author and me questions when I am reading then I have to write answer them in my reading book.

  4. Dear Miss Spink and Madison,

    It was really fun listening to Madison read.
    We choose good fit books and use quiestioning to monitor understanding while reading. My reading goal is to read at the same pace not to fast and not to slow. Ayla's reading goal is to use punctuation to enchance pharsing and intonation.

  7. Dear Miss Spink and Madison,

    What we do well in reading is clarifying words, reading with punctuation and understand the text we just read.
    Kyla:
    My reading goal is to make deep connections with the text to help me get a good visual image.
    I think I need to work on putting the words I find in books into my own writing.
    Celine:
    My reading goal is to fine the meaning of new words.
    I think I need to work on making sure I don't skip words I don't know the meaning of.

    Sincerely,

    Kyla and Celine

  8. Hello Miss Spink and Madison,

    It was very exciting when skyping to Madison,Madison is a very good reader and I think she needs to work on making predictions on what the text will be about.

    Sevgi-
    I express my voice when I read.My reading goal is to ask author and me quistions.I think I need to work on making deep conections about the text.

    Ayla-
    I ask quistions before,during and after reading.My reading goal is to use punctuation to enhance phrasing and intanation.I think I need to work on changing my voice for direct speach.

    From Sevgi and Ayla
