Across approximately 15 days, students develop active reading habits and learn to use strategies before, during, and after reading. They practise making predictions, activating prior knowledge, asking and answering questions, making connections, visualizing, retelling, and identifying important details. Students read and listen to fiction, informational texts, poetry, and texts connected to familiar Alberta and Calgary experiences. They distinguish between characters, setting, problem, events, main ideas, and supporting details, and participate in respectful partner and group discussions. Instruction includes explicit phonics, word-solving, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension practice suited to individual reading needs.

Recommended Tasks
  • Maintain a reading response journal in which students record predictions, connections, new vocabulary, and a short retelling or main-idea statement for selected texts.
  • Complete a partner book discussion using prepared prompts such as “I noticed…,” “I wonder…,” and “The evidence is…,” followed by a teacher observation or conference.
  • Create a story map or informational-text organizer identifying key elements, important details, and the student’s personal response.
