Story retells!

We are retelling a few stories in our classroom in several ways!  Below, some friends are listening to Mable Murple at the listening centre and following along.  We have discussed left-to-right direction and top -to-bottom when we follow the words.  We have talked about periods, title, and spaces between words.  Another friend is independently reading a book we read in class.  Other friends are retelling the story Pete the Cat by "reading" the illustrations or by using the flannel board!
