I start out the D5 by going over 3 ways to read a book. I will use the following digital anchor chart to explain this concept.
I have all kinds of reading levels mixed into one class as many of you do. Until I know their reading levels I demonstrate the 3 different ways to read a book. This makes the ones that are struggling more confident to actually attempt to read.
The sisters suggest demonstrating how to read the pictures & read the words on day one. The next day you will demonstrate how to retell the story that was read the day before. You want to chose a book where the pictures closely math the words.
On the second day we will go over the 3 ways to read & also the above chart. I will demonstrate the right & wrong way to act during “Read to Self”. Providing a visual of the right & wrong model is key. I also through in a lot of dramatic praise when I see improvement in stamina.
This is a picture I will show my future students of “Read to Self”. The whole class was in “Read to Self” were doing a wonderful job reading the three different ways. As they were in “Read to Self” for the first time I set our stamina timer & then we tracked our progress daily.
As we would add more minutes daily they would get really excited! This year I will be handing out the stamina necklaces & coupons when I see great or poor stamina building.
After each day of building our stamina in “Read to Self” we come together as a group to discuss what went wrong & also would discuss what went right. We would make a goal of where we wanted to be & usually I would add minutes daily until they reached 20 minutes. After we reached our goal I introduced the next part “Read to Someone”.

We have AR (Accelerated Reader) at our school & the kids LOVE IT! I keep track of their points with the following Groovy AR Point Tracker. Passing AR tests is very exciting for my littles & they love seeing their clothespin go down as they gain more points!
It’s set up something like my voice level signs above which I also use if they get too loud & break stamina. Click on any picture to go check them out!

I do exactly as you do in our daily 5. I guess I struggle with how many times do you practice read to self as you get started? I feel I always have my 20-30 minute read to self block (in the beginning of the school year) but how many times a day would you all practice the stamina with the lower minutes? Does that make since?
Thanks for all the freebies! I love your stamina chart! I so wish I could come to the blog meet–I am also from northern Illinois. I will be at music camp with my kids–hopefully getting lots of really good ideas. Thanks for starting off the blog hop–and I hope you have felt some peace with your nephews death. I am sure it will hurt for many years to come.
Probably these are the better provisions of prospects and for the future students must need to regard about every possible fact. cheap resume writing service
