I don't think that reading the pictures should be reserved for k and first
graders but it sounds like you need to review what read the pictures means
- telling the story to yourself. There are some great picture books or
even wordless books that you can use. Then you can review what it doesn't
look like (flipping the pages in chapter books) You might also review how
to choose "just right" books and don't forget the check in- perhaps a
student can read a favorite part of a book. Some of my first graders are
gearing up for sharing their reading after our spring break. I wish I had
a reading specialist to come in and take a group for guided reading.
Lucky teacher!
Stick with it, it is worth it!

To all who use the Daily Five:
I am a reading specialist who, over the past month, has implemented the
"Read to Self" part of the Daily Five in a second grade classroom while
the classroom teacher and myself are working with guided reading
groups. We taught the Three Types of Reading in one of the initial
minilessons: Read the Pictures, Read the Words, and Retell the Story.
We are noticing some "abuse" of these options: some kids who are
"picture reading" chapter books by flipping the pages, and basically
just not doing enough "reading the words". Does anyone have any
advice? Do you think reading the pictures and retelling the story
should be reserved just for first-graders? Any advice would be
appreciated.
