Cross Checking

Hello Everyone!
Next week we will be introducing the concept of cross checking in reading.   Cross checking is a strategy for helping kids think while they read.  Do the words (and sometimes the pictures) match with what they are reading? When they get to the end of a sentence, stop and cross check. Does it look right? Does it sound right? Does it make sense.  Kids should be aware of mistakes when they are reading.   The Sisters of Daily 5 and CAFE have a little hand movement they do while teaching this strategy, but my team and I wanted a little visual as well. This is what I came up with.

Joyfully!

  7. Thank you so much! I was just praying about finding/using something like this just last night and then I got it in my email this morning from you! I am so thankful for how God uses you and your creative team with these precious children and how you take the time to also share your ideas with the rest of us. So many children are being blessed. Thank you for all the time you take to post things and for making it so easy to utilize your ideas. You are such a blessing! - Donna from WA
