Happy End of 3rd Quarter!! The strategy groups that Kristin and I reorganize every few weeks is continuing to work really well for us. One of the challenges that I am wondering about involves comprehension and those higher readers. In first grade, once students really understand "how" to read then we really dive deeper into comprehension and inferential thinking. Does anyone have any great mini lessons or ideas on this? Especially those of you at the higher grade levels. Our higher readers are great "readers"...they know all of the words and can read fluently, but it is very hard for them to apply some of those inferential and complex thinking skills to their reading. It's hard for them to understand how to slow down and really pay attention to what they read. Thanks Everyone!
