From Melbourne, Australia, Brette is a grade 2 teacher who has written posts about Word Work, strategy groups, 'good fit' books, and an introduction to the daily Five literacy routine.
Catherine and Natasha demonstrate the usefulness of riddle books in developing comprehension - and talking about it through the 'Check for Understanding' routine.
In the Read to Someone activity, we see two supportive partners. Tiana subvocalises while Keeley read aloud and seems to know just when to help her decode a word. Keeley does a fantastic job of Check for Understanding at the end, to assist Tiana.
Goggles and Spike show us what 'Check For Understanding' looks like as they buddy up together for 'Read to Someone' during Daly Five literacy. At the end of each page Goggles and Spike take turns to do a simple retell of the page.
