IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

On Monday and Tuesday we talked about “Stopping and thinking” about what we are reading when we are reading books.  Today, we discussed the 5 W’s:  Who, What, When, Where, and Why.  We had some pictures to show each word, and then we discussed a little bit about them.  Then I challenged the children to find those in their books while they were reading.  I was so proud of them for finding those “W” words.  By finding those 5 “W” words, that helps with summarizing and comprehension.  Next week we are going to talk in more detail about each “W” word so that the children have a better understanding of what to look for in their books.
