Picture Books in Progress

We are steaming ahead with our picture books.  So far we have braistormed, drafted, edited and re-worked them. We made an illustration plan, and now we are illustrators and publishers. 

Reciprocal Reading

We are leading our own reading.  We each get to have a turn to be a leader, predictor, questioner, clarifyier, and summariser.  We are having lots of interesting discussions about the texts we are reading.
