Talking Points

  • "Reading is like telling a story. When we read, we want to sound like we are telling a story to our friends."
  • "It's okay to make mistakes while reading. We can always go back and try again to get it right."
  • "Reading with expression means changing our voice to show how the characters are feeling. Can you show me how you would read a happy part?"
  • "Let's practice reading a sentence together. Remember to read smoothly and not too fast or too slow."
  • "When we find a word we don't know, we can sound it out or ask for help. Learning new words makes us better readers!"
  • "Reading is fun! Let's enjoy the stories and use our imagination to bring them to life."
