Spanish

In Spanish, Miss Alondra read pequea

mancha and Grufalo. She had 10 copies of the
same book. Children talked about the title of
the book, about being authors and respecting
the books, and how to hold them correctly.
Miss Alondra tried to promote reading
behaviors by showing children how to match
the words with a pointer, remembering how to
match the words with their voice and also
reviewed reading left to right. Alondra
commented some children still dont know the
concept of left to right so it is hard to talk to
them about the concept. They also talked
about bookmarks.
K11
A poster was up in the board and a child said
he couldnt see so a conversation about how
and where to stand when reading started.
Chika chika boom, boom was read to the
class, but the teacher said there are no little
books for that book. Maybe some kinder
teachers have a copy. They also talked about
the use of the pointer to match the voice with
the words.

K10
Children were asked to find some words in a
sentence. They used a book to talk about the
pictures, periods, spaces and exclamation
marks. They also talked about the cover page
and how to turn pages of a book nicely.
Children were encouraged to use complete
sentences.
K9
There is a new boy in the class. He knows
how to read so he brought a book and read it
to his classmates. Several activities were
done with the book and children are starting
to get excited about reading. They will
intentionally work with reading after
vacations, when this student comes back to
share his knowledge.
This class also started to practice shared
reading, first in a big group with certain
books children are familiar with, they started
to match words with voice.
