Welcome to Week 4 of our Reading & Writing class focused on extensive reading and word walls. In today’s session, we will cover housekeeping items, engage in an extensive reading project, and introduce morning messages and word walls. Students will read and answer questions about assigned phonics pages, prepare to teach selected activities, and submit one-sentence summaries for their extensive reading. Collaborate with peers to discuss themes and character insights. Additionally, we’ll work in groups to create word walls to be displayed in our classes.
