SAMPLE CALENDAR OF READING ACTIVITIES

Teacher can select any day of the week to do the reading activity.

WEEK MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY


Reading Buddy
A partner approach can
give a struggling reader
confidence to tackle a
text since she has
1 support from others.
When a child struggles
with decoding words or
reading fluently, try
echo reading.
Tell It Again
Retelling is a strategy to
improve comprehension
of the material. After
2 reading a story, have the
young students
summarize what it was
about.

Graph It
Graphic organizers help
young children
understand what they
read and connect it to
3 their knowledge. A K-
W-L chart is an
example of a graphic
organizer you can use
with reading. The "K"
column represents what
the child already knows
about the book's topic.
This gets her brain
engaged and ready to
read. The "W" stands
for what the child wants
to know. She might
have questions that she
doesn't know about the
topic. The "L" column
happens after reading
to show what she
learned from reading
the story. To help with
comprehension, chart
predictions about what
will happen next. You
can also create graphic
organizers to show
elements of the story,
such as the character,
setting, conflict and
main ideas or events.

Get Artistic
Poems and songs give
kids a chance to
practice fluency and
learn new vocabulary
words. Many primary
classrooms often
incorporate music into
the day. Instead of just
4 singing songs, print off
the lyrics for the kids. If
you don't already have
a classroom playlist,
find a popular song with
lyrics that include sight
words for your students.
With the lyrics in front of
them, play the song as
students sing and read
along. Poems have a
similar flow and often
incorporate rhyming
words that allow you to
discuss word families.
Poems and songs work
well for repeated
readings since kids
often enjoy listening to
and reading them
several times.
