Good readers are like…..spiders?!

Ew! Gross!

But really, they are! Just as spiders spin their webs, connecting each thread to another…good readers connect the threads in their minds when they read. They take what they are reading, and weave a web with what they have stored in their schema. This week, we have begun spinning our reading webs, and notating on our webs what is connecting to our schema.
