Making the Most of Partner Reading

Did you know the best way to become a better reader is to practice?  Just like playing a sport or an instrument, without practice you won't get better.  We are working hard to improve our stamina during our read to self time, but did you know having conversations about books makes reading more meaningful?  Partner work is a great way to continue to practice reading and share the fun things we discover in our books.  Today we got new reading partners as we start our new unit on nonfiction texts.  Our learners were so excited to share their books.  Remember to help your reader continue to practice at home too!
