READER'S THEATRE
Throughout the year, first graders will be honing comprehension and fluency skills through Reader's Theatre performances for audiences. Each Reader's Theatre opens with a familiar nursery rhyme that is used to introduce a full length adaptation. Girls identify related story elements for the play: characters, setting, and plot.
Fluency skills include:
• Reading in a clear voice.
• Matching reading voices to express how characters sound or feel.
• Remembering to pay attention to punctuation marks: pause at commas, stop at periods, show expression for question marks or exclamation points.

WORD STUDY WITH ECHO
Lessons have covered the short vowels: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/. Our routine includes Echo Find Letters/Build Words activities with large size letters and individual letter boards. First the girls listen to a short vowel word. Then they proceed to tap each sound before building the word with letter tiles. Beginning this week, we are learning the digraph sounds for: ch, ch, th, wh and _ck (at the end of a word).
Short Vowels: CVC
