Welcome to the Wildcat Blog!

We are so excited you have logged on to our school blog! Since our school has been working hard on literacy strategies across all content, we would like for you to share the knowledge you have gained with your classmates by communicating with one another.

This will be a safe site that you can feel free to share appropriate comments with your friends and teachers here at Centerfield.

A question will be asked once a month on different literacy elements. We are looking forward to seeing the strong conversations that will be taking place!

Reading is fun, or is it?



Our daily life is centered around reading. Do you enjoy reading? Do you share information learned with friends? Are there different ways to read? Take some time to reflect about why you read and share it with your friends on the blog.

Inferring


To infer is to make a solid deduction in a short amount of time.

Analyze or think about this statement and explain how inferring can be a help while reading fiction or nonfiction. Remember; a dose of schema + a piece of evidence = a solid inference.

Our next strategy is Questioning?


Share your thoughts about how posing questions before, during, and after reading help us with a deeper understanding. Think of examples when you used the questioning strategy and how it helped with your thinking process.
