A Clever Idea from a Reader

1st Grade teacher, Connie Roepke, sent us a note along with the photo of her Literacy Cafe Menu at the end of the year. Notice the kids wrote out the strategy cards. Good for you Connie!

She also included the chant she made up along with her friend Megan Sloan and gave us permission to share it with you. Thanks, Connie!

Connie's Menu

 

Literacy Café Chant

(Chorus)
Let’s hang out
At the Literacy Café
Where you just need a book
Choose a strategy or two
 Let’s hang out
At the Literacy Café
You’ll improve your reading skills
This is the place to be

- - - - - - - - 

I remember what I read
When I Comprehend
I read the words correctly
My Accuracy is great

I read the words smoothly
My Fluency’s just fine
I’m Expanding my vocabulary
When I read and use new words
(Chorus)
