Reading Partners

Each morning when the students arrive they begin Read to Self  or Read to Someone from Daily 5. I try to have the students read for 15-20 minutes at the beginning of each day either independently or in partners. During this time, I've found that a large number of the students enjoy reading to a stuffed animal. They get to use their imagination while they read aloud. As you can see from the pictures, the students are free to read wherever and however they are comfortable.
