Reading

Remember, your goal is to read at least 20 minutes a day to build your reading muscles!


How do you read this menu?
  • The acronym letters--CAFE, are the goals.
    • Comprehension
    • Accuracy
    • Fluency
    • Expand Vocabulary
  • The items listed below the letters in each column are the strategies that help us work toward those goals.
What we want the students to say:
  • "My goal is                         (ex. Comprehension), and I'm using the strategy                         (ex. Check for Understanding) to help me work on that goal."

What do I do with this information at home?
  • Strategies are posted to the menu once they have been taught and practiced in the classroom.
    • Pick a strategy and ask your child how they can use it to help them become a better reader.
    • Ask your child what the current goal/strategy she/he is working on.
      • See above for what we want to help your child say.
