Reading in Kindergarten

We are readers!  I believe that all kids should view themselves as readers from day 1.  
What better way to reach this goal than to have children in books.  We begin the year with familiar song books.  We sing lots of song books together every day.
From there, readers give it a go independently by singing and reading the pictures on their own.
I love to see kids engaged with books and doing the work of readers.  Students soon cling to their favorites and listen in on their friends.
We end Reader's Workshop by inviting each student to share the book he/she read using the sentence starter "I am the kind of reader who....".  What better way to become a reader!

We ended our week in the library, where our special guest, Mr. Brian brought his guitar and taught all three classes of kindergarten the Fox Creek Song.
