SIERRA HEIGHTS EAGLES!
I am proud to be a Sierra Heights Eagle. I will be kind by showing respect to my classmates and teachers by using kind words and actions. I will be safe by keeping my hands, feet, and objects to myself. I will be responsible by coming to school on time every day, focused, and ready to learn. As a responsible scholar, I will actively listen, politely ask questions if I don’t understand, and follow directions the first time. I will be my best in every way, each and every day! I accept new challenges and I will soar to new heights!
Go Eagles!!!

THE COMPONENTS OF BALANCED LITERACY
InteractiveRead AloudWith Accountable
Talk
Shared Reading
Reading Workshop

Study
READING WORKSHOP
10 minute mini-lesson
demonstrating a strategy
Readers choose “just right books”
and practice the reading strategy
Independent reading and
conferencing
INDEPENDENT READING
The best way to become a better reader is to
practice each day, with books you choose, on your just-right reading level. It soon becomes a habit.
The three different ways to read are the
following: Talk about the pictures Read the words Retell a previously read book
SHARED READINGShared Reading is an opportunity to have all eyes on the same 2nd grade level text. The text is read together aloud. We often use poems, songs, books, articles, and other text sources.
Instruction is given regarding concepts of print, word solving strategies, and fluency techniques.
Shared Reading allows for more time to practice strategies together, work on fluency and expression, check for understanding, hear one’s own voice, and helps them to share in the learning community.
INTERACTIVE READ ALOUD
o During Interactive Read Aloud time, a text is read to
students that is above the students’ own reading level.
o It’s a time that I demonstrate strategies and
encourage higher level thinking through questioning.
By modeling these strategies students begin to see
and use them in their own independent reading to gain
a deeper understanding of the text.
o Students discuss their thoughts and ideas with the
whole group or in pairs therefore developing their
communication skills.
