Book Detectives

This week, we began practicing a new skill during our Read to Someone Center.  The students have buckets of books to choose from to practice reading to a buddy.  Their new job; however, is to begin noticing "cool" things or interesting things the author does with the words.  We are beginning to learn about text features when we are reading and putting text features into our writing. These two students shared what they observed in their books.

Mia found that the author is using a different verb in the same sentence that is repeated on each page!

Joshua discovered that the author used the illustration to also write words. Cool!
