What can you ask your child about our week?

Last week we learned 3 ways to read a book: read the words, read the pictures, and retell a familiar story.  Can your child name all 3 ways?  This week we have had lots of fun discussing how just right books are like shoes, they fit perfectly.  I really liked Andrea's shoes but they were too small.  I thought I should try Mr. Watson's shoes since they are bigger but they were too big.  We finally decided I needed to wear my own shoes because they were just the right size.  It reminded us of the story Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and of Cinderella.  We read both stories this week.  We practiced reading pictures, words, and retelling like we learned last week.  Choosing right fit books is like finding the right shoe, not too easy (small), not too hard (big), it should fit the purpose, and you should like it.  We found the perfect story to relate to choosing right fit books, Goldisocks and the 3 Libearians.  It is a story about 3 bears that are "libearians" and they know just how to help "Goldisocks" select a right fit book.  Look it up on YouTube, your child will love to share it with you.  We decided we could use our fingers to help determine if a book is too hard.  For each word you do not know, hold up a finger.  If you have 5 fingers up, the book is too hard.  Can your child choose an appropriate book?  Finally, we discovered our first reading strategy, using your "owl eyes" to look for picture clues to figure out words we do not know.  Reading strategies are located in your binder, you can reference those when reading.  Can your child tell you how owl eyes help us as readers?
