In first grade it is so important to teach children about reading strategies. In the classroom I have taught multiple lessons that teach the children how to use reading strategies to help with their reading fluency and comprehension. We have read together and individually. Then to enhance their own individual learning and practice we have been able to go into the Mac computer lab four days a week for twenty minutes and the students have practiced the strategies at their own pace using the WaterFord program. In this program the students read books into the mics and listen back to themselves read. They are able to listen to their own reading and identify which strategy will be best for them to work on. This encourages self-regulation and goal making.
