Read to Someone

We have been working hard to learn to be independent with our literacy choices during Reading Workshop. One of the choices we've been practicing is Read to Someone, adapted from The Daily Five. In this activity, children find a partner and take turns reading to each other from their own self-selected Just Right Books. They check for understanding at the end of each page by sharing the "who" and the "what" from their partner's reading. We've been working especially hard on using quiet voices during this activity so we don't disturb the group at the reading table or the other independent workers.
