IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today we learned a new strategy to help us when reading the first sound/letter. It is called READY ROOSTER! Roosters get the day going. Ready Rooster gets your mouth ready for the first sound/letter of a word. I showed the word “beginning” to the friends and asked them to get ready rooster. You should have seen our 23 friends “pecking” their heads a little and getting their mouths ready to say that beginning “b” sound!!

We also did a class walk of beginning, middle, and end today. I read the book Swimmy to our friends, and then I read it again but this time they either had to go to the beginning of our room, the middle of our room, or the end of the room based on what part of the book I was reading. They loved listening and then getting to the part of the room quick! It was a fun way to demonstrate beginning, middle, and end!
