monitor when reading. This means teaching students to check to see if the words they

match the words that the students are reading. This will help students to become
independent readers. It will help them to be stronger readers who will learn more
from what they read.

books in English. We will even be using some books that don’t have words in them at

their children. I hope you are able to join us for these coffees.
