Partner Reading

In Reading Workshop we are learning how to share books with a partner.  The boys and girls are already familiar with sharing thier thoughts with thier reading partners during our Making Meaning lesson each week.  We know that when we talk about stories with others it helps us to understand the story better.  This week we learned how to read books from our book boxes with a partner.  The boys and girls practiced sitting elbow to elbow and knee to knee (or EEKK as we like to call it) so that they could both see the words and the pictures.  Then we learned that first one kiddo reads a page and then the other kiddo reads a page.  When the story is over we talk about what we learned, what we remember or our favorite part.  Here are some readers hard at work.
