Words Their Way: Resources and Ideas - ELL Tool Box. CAFE. In our classroom, we will use the structure of CAFE to focus on reading comprehension strategies.

I will also meet with small strategy groups and individual students when I finish meeting with guided reading groups. Our CAFE board shows the four strategies we will focus on- Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary. As we learn skills for each strategy, we will post them below. The most exciting part is that students will have the chance to declare the strategy they are working on.
