This Week's Strategy

Asking Questions



This week Mrs. DeYoung's language groups have focused on asking questions while they read to check comprehension. We read a ghost story and used the questioning strategy to predict outcomes and learn meanings of unfamiliar words. Students practicing articulation skills read orally to self-monitor their speech. Many of the students received a word search to review new vocabulary from the story. Next week we will review the vocabulary and brainstorm other descriptive words to write scary sentences.
