Literacy

We just finished up our apple study.  Now during whole group literacy instruction our class is reading books and poems about healthy foods.  Some of the vocabulary words we are reviewing/learning are: vitamin, breakfast, supper, health, enjoy & need.  The comprehension strategy we are learning is inferring.  I've been telling students that, "good readers use what they already know to make a smart guess about the story."  You can help your child infer by providing them with everyday examples.  Let's play a guessing game. Use what you already know to make a guess...Where would I be going if I had a baseball and glove? A blanket and a picnic basket?  A backpack and homework?
