Ms. Kim's ESOL Class
Welcome to Ms. Kim's 2nd grade ESOL class!
What are we practicing this week?
What reading strategies are we working on? (Monitor and Self Correction)
How can I support my child at home?
1. Look at the beginning of the word. What letter do you see? What sound does that letter make?
2. Look at the end of the word. what letter(s) do you see? what sound does this ending make?
3. You said "misread word", let's look at the word again, does that look like "misread word"? When the word doesn't look right, we need to go back and re-read. Let's read the beginning and the end of the word.
4. When the child corrects his mistake, praise his effort and achievement. " You went back and re-read the word to make sure that the word looked right." That is how good readers make sure that he is reading it correctly.
What books are we reading?

Nat the Cat

All About Me
Did you know?
Reading is “brain food”
"Our brains develop as we “feed” them with experiences. The experience of reading (whether you’re the reader or the one being read to) activates and “exercises” many of the areas of the brain. The visual cortex works as your eyes track the words on the page and look at the illustrations. Your memory makes connections between what you already know about the topic of the story and its content. You integrate new information learned through reading further strengthening and growing your network of knowledge. Reading provides one of the most enriching and complex brain activities available in life."
