Ghostly Reading

Boo! Don't be scared, our first graders are just getting in the Halloween spirt with a little ghostly reading.  Students are working on putting their finger under the word as they read it.  This helps learners to check the beginning and ending sound of a word!  Putting your finger under the text also improves accuracy and fluency.  This week we have been using witch fingers to help us practice this skill.  This creepy craziness was real scare! The best part is tomorrow, the fingers will go home with them so they can continue to use them at home!
