Reading is no. 1 at
Blueberry Creek

Blueberry Creek School re-
opened in September of last

ar.
a Tt has a Primary One class
and a Primary Two and Three
class.

While the three 'R's are the
centre of the Blueberry
Creek's curriculum, it’s the

first R, reading, which we ~

would like to tell you about to-
day.

Same children know a bit
about reading before they
come to school. They have been
read to from baby books and
have heard the nursery
rhymes.

Parents can continue to
support children's learning by
reading with them and to
them and by listening to the
kids as they read. There's am-
ple evidence that learning to
read is important.

How do we teach reading at
Blueberry Creek? In the past,
letter sounds and new words
were studied before stories
were tackled.

Now the reverse is the prac-.
tise. Now teachers develop an
interest in the children for the
whole story before they learn
the small parts like letter
sounds and vocabulary. Kids
learn that print is talk written
down.

Something else that is dif-
ferent today is what the chil-
dren are reading at school. It
used to be almost exclusively

SD

Blueberry
Creek
School

School CROSSINGS

readers containing material
with little relevance to chil-
dren's lives.

Now it is a variety of read-
ing material. Children now
read good literature from the
school library, the children’s
own writing and excellent
Canadian reading series’
which contain lots of stories
addressing kids’ interests.

Teachers help to make the
connections between these
projects and the story.

Daily silent reading times,

sto! ling opportunities, vis-
ae school library, indi-
vidual reading projects or
chanting poems from a chart
all support the reading that is
done each day during the read-
ing lesson.

The results are children
who enjoy books and quickly
develop the skills to become in-
dependent readers. =
