We have begun a new reading unit on Summarizing and Fix-Up Monitoring! The children are learning how to find the key ideas and events in both non-fiction and fiction texts. Once we identify the ideas and events, we look for common elements and summarize the text. The children will learn how to use a graphic organizer to show what they know about summarizing books. Our reading strategy, fix-up monitoring, helps us when we come to a word we don't know. We are learning how to use text features, pictures, known letters, and known events to help us read. Have fun summarizing and using fix-up monitoring at home!

Ms. BedfordI have been teaching for 22 years. When not at school, I enjoy traveling, knitting, and getting together with family and friends. My cat Gilmore brings me laughter with her silly antics. It is a joy to watch children learn and grow during the school year! Archives
