Welcome to reading2success designed to support parents, child care providers and teachers in coaching children to reading success. Best practices for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school students will be discussed, reviewed and demonstrated. Although, we are known for reading, we have also included sections on writing and math!
Our Writing Toolbox! It consists of Various Pictures that students select to write about. It is also full of fun pencils, highlighters, erasers and sticky notes!
Class Writing. We selected a picture and decided on two sentences to write. Next, we underlined each word with red crayon and highlighted every vowel. Then we counted the words, vowels, letters and sentences.
Student example
It was a hot day!
We wrote three sentences about the picture. We underlined 15 words, highlighted 18 vowels, drew circles around the word - was, triangles around the word - the, rectangles around the word -hot We also put a happy face above every three letter word.
