Our @BookwormsRW routines even work with non-fiction books! We read the book “How Does a Waterfall Become Electricity?” and started off learning new vocabulary words, then applied that knowledge to answer a writing prompt! 💦⚡️🔌💡@SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation @CurriculumMatrs

We had the best time!

Chatter 🗣️, excitement 🤗 and applause👏🏼 as we finish reading The Westing Game! After we finished reading, we had a final discussion on the book. Stay tuned as we start our next book, Bud Not Buddy 📖! @SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation @CurriculumMatrs @BookwormsRW

After each day’s reading, Ss answer text-based oral comprehension questions. Many of the @BookwormsRW questions begin with how or why, which allows for deeper understanding of the text. 📖 🗣️Listen to the Ss thoughtful discussions! @SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation @CurriculumMatrs

One nice part about @BookwormsRW is the daily structure of the shared reading block. Each lesson starts with word study. Listen to us learn about 2 new words! @SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation 1️⃣say the word 2️⃣clap the word out 3️⃣identify the syllable types 4️⃣learn the meaning

Partner reading=rereading the text that was just chorally read, but this time with a partner! 👧🏼👦🏻📖 📸1: Partner Focus (what to be thinking of while partner reading) 📹1: Partners reading 📹2: Discussing focus @BookwormsRW @SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation @CurriculumMatrs

Ss are provided with a “first focus” which helps Ss to read for a meaning-oriented purpose. 📖 ➡️Listen to today’s focus on how The Westing Game characters have changed!🕵🏻 ✅set first focus ✅choral read text ✅discuss first focus @BookwormsRW @SoRclassroom @goyenfoundation

Another routine that Ss do daily is share their writing, first with a partner then with the class. 🔈🆙to hear a proud writer! 📝 📖 Pair-Share Responses: 🗣️share writing with partner 🗣️share writing with class @BookwormsRW @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @CurriculumMatrs
