CAFE Strategies Taught this Week

Using the I-Pick method to choose a good-fit book.

I- Students(I) pick a book
P- Purpose (What is your purpose for choosing the book?)
I- Interest (Are you interested in the book?)
C- Comprehend (Do you understand what you just read?)
K- Know (Do you know most of the words?)

We also spent time this week practicing the reading strategy, trade a word/guess a word that makes sense, when a student comes to an unknown word while reading.  When students are able to use or trade a similar word while reading when they encounter an unknown word, their reading continues and the meaning of the story stays intact.
