Read+With+Others

Reading with Others provides an opportunity to practice fluency and comprehension. During RWO, students should take turns reading text out loud with a parnter, sitting in the EEKK (elbow to elbow, knee to knee) position. These are the RWO guidlines:

__ If you are reading the same book: __
 * //**All written work should be recorded in your Reading Journal!!//**
 * Work with your partner to create a simple skit or play about your book. Perform the play for the class.
 * Decide what genre your book is – how do you know?
 * What is the author’s purpose – how do you know?
 * Work together to create a new story using the same characters. Read your story to the class or record it!
 * Work together to create a summary and book recommendation. Share with the class or post to the class Wiki.
 * Choose three questions from your yellow bookmark to discuss and share. Record the questions/answers in your journal.
 * NON-FICTION BOOK: List 5 facts from the book and share with the class.

__ If you are reading different books: __ Choose three questions from your yellow bookmark to discuss and share.Record the questions/answers in your journal.
 * Compare the setting. What is the same/different? Use a Venn Diagram.
 * Compare books. Which one is better? Write a paragraph in your Reading Journal telling WHY it’s better. Share with the class.
