The World's Greatest Elephant

by Ralph Helfer

I have had many favorite books over the years, and they still remain favorites. My newest book to add to the list is The World’s Greatest Elephant by Ralph Helfer. It is the true story of Modoc the elephant and his best friend Bram. I know you all know it because I read it to you! Maybe you could share it with your parents or younger brother or sister. I think it’s a book that no matter how many times you read, you still love the story and are able to make new connections.  Mrs. Allen

Leveled Book Information

This information is helpful if you want information on leveled books. In our classroom the children read books at their level (which changes as they become more proficient, especially in comprehension). If you are not sure of your child's reading level, ask your reading teacher. This website provides numerous titles, at the different levels (A-Z), to help guide your child to appropriate leveled literature. When purchasing books as gifts or for pleasure this site is a great resource.

 

Happy Reading! Mrs. Allen

Sammy Keyes series

 

Sammy Keyes is a great book series. They're all mysteries. Yet, really unexpected mysteries. Sammy is a sventh grader who the popular girl, Heather Acosta, hates. She has a new mystery to solve in every book. By

unexpected, I mean the suspect is really unexpected. So grab one of the books in the Sammy Keyes series, and

READ! --Alison

 


Comprehension Is Where It's At

 

When helping your child choose a book besides the leveling link there is also a method called the FIVE FINGER METHOD. When picking a book, it is important for independent reading to be comfortable. Open up to any page in the book that looks like a prospect. Begin to read the page and if more than 5 words are missed on the page, put it back, because frustration is on the rise. Remember, the goal in independent reading is enjoyment without frustration and of course, COMPREHENSION!

 

Speaking of comprehension, our student teacher Miss Baker, has been teaching us a few things! Here's a quick way to check comprehension and keep the reader focused. After reading a chapter or after completion of a book use the SWBS method. Read below to find out what it is and how it can hold any reader accountable.

 

The S stands for SOMEBODY. Think about the main character in the chapter that was read.

 

The W stands for WANTED. Think about what that character wanted in the chapter that you read.

 

The B stands for BUT. Think about what might have stopped the character from getting what he/she wanted in the chapter that you read.

 

 The S stands for SO. Think about what the character did to solve his/her problem. How did he/she get what he/she wanted in the chapter that you read?
