There is a difference between reading words and real reading. Real reading happens when we take the text (what the author is telling us) and mix it with our own thoughts. This is when real reading happens.
It is kind of like having constant thought bubbles popping up over our heads. And, the thought bubbles help us make meaning from the text.
Today we practiced paying attention to those thought bubbles.
STEALING MINUTES! We have been working hard on the concept of "stealing minutes". This is a habit of a good reader. Stealing minutes means trying to carrying your book so you can get a few minutes in here and there. Examples of this at school are when the teacher is answering another question or when the teacher gets interrupted by someone at the door. Rather than sitting and waiting, steal minutes in your book. This keeps us engaged as readers. The more we read our book, the more we get into it and the more we'll want to read it.
