I do that quite often ...I would just let them read. I do that quite often too Sarah- I just walk around and see what they are up to. <BR/>I did do a mini on conferring expectations last year. It went really really well & helped out. I also have days where I just let them come to me-Jen Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907949160401264885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-68649469083059965232008-09-26T20:02:00.000-04:002008-09-26T20:02:00.000-04:00And you wonder why your DIBLES scores are so high?...And you wonder why your DIBLES scores are so high???!!! You might do a mini lesson on what your job is when I pull up beside you. You might also talk to them about how you honor their reading time, but you want to make them even better readers and talking to them-just the two of you-helps you do that. Your kids are smart...they will "get it"! See you soon! I want to spend time in your room just watching!Kathy Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048581226559774602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119769200546156350.post-16040414011063596262008-09-26T20:01:00.000-04:002008-09-26T20:01:00.000-04:00Let em read!! I haven't conferred with my readers...Let em read!! I haven't conferred with my readers yet. I am still on the floor supporting their curiosity in new baskets and finding and loving books. I think it is ok. I I think a lot of the comprehension work we do in 1st at the beginning of the year is during read aloud. I find myself naming and modeling comprehension strategies that I know later kids will embrace independently. I am no Debbie or Carl but I can't help stand by what I believe is right for my own kids. Each group of kiddos is different, right?Katie Dicesarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267193046510544304noreply@blogger.com
