Introduction
(3 minutes)- Welcome the class and make note of how they all know how to sit so respectfully and are such great listeners.
- Model thinking aloud as to how the class knows to behave, "Wow, I can't believe that everyone is sitting so still and ready to learn! How did they know to come to the rug and listen?"
- Explain that in the classroom, you have expectations and rules to follow. This way everyone knows how to behave in the group to have the best learning environment.
- Tell the class that reading is just the same way! There are special rules to follow in order to know how to read a book, and today you will be learning about those rules.
