Reading Around the Room

This morning we were reading around the room! The students are very excited that we have begun to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl. As students are reading they are answering comprehension questions, working with new vocabulary words, as well as making connections to the text. At the conclusion of the book we will watch the original movie and make a comparison between the book and the movie. Students who have already seen the movie but not read the book are already noticing that there are differences and that the book has more details than the movie!
