Reading with a Partner

In order to practice our reading skills in the classroom we are using partners to practice reading. These are books on each child's level. You can always have your child do this at home with you if you haven't already started it. When we are done reading I have been asking more detailed comprehension questions.  We have been focusing in on describing the setting and then naming the main idea in the story.  At the end of reading, I take the book away and ask the reader to start at the beginning and tell me all of the details they can remember. The kids really love to share their stories!
