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?
