This week we introduced two more reading strategies. Students began to use the Chunky Monkey strategy, which encourages students to look for small words inside big words, and the Skippy Kangaroo strategy. The Skippy Kangaroo strategy encourages students to skip the word they do not know, read the rest of the sentence, and come back to the word they did not know  to try and read it. Additionally, students practiced their sequencing and inference skills. Please see the anchor charts that we use in class pictured below. We would appreciate it if you encourage your children to use these strategies at home.
