Gail Boushey and Joan Moser are two teachers who wrote "The Cafe Book." They took the skills necessary to be a strong reader and broke them into categories including: comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expanding vocabulary. Over the course of the last few years this acronym has evolved into CRAFT: comprehension, respond to text, accuracy, fluency, and text elements.
Throughout the year we'll be learning skills that fall into one of the CRAFT categories to make us into better readers. The strategies will be added to our bulletin board so that students may refer to them as often as needed.
You can help at home by encouraging the same great skills we learn in the classroom! Here you can find an interactive CAFE menu. By clicking on each of the skills you can see specific vocabulary and lessons that went along with that skill. By clicking here you can find the skills that accompany the modified board "Respond to Text" and "Text Elements."
