10/30
Hi readers! This week we are learning about Fix Up strategies. Readers use these strategies to help them when they get to a "clunk" in their reading. A "clunk" occurs when a reader does not understand what they read or are reading. A few strategies we are discussing include reading on, going back in the text and re-reading, and asking ourselves if what we read made sense. Read 20 minutes. Record the title and author of your book. Write about a Fix Up or other reading strategy you used to help you overcome a "clunk" or challenge in your reading.

ReplyDeleteI keep reading.until I figured out what the word meant.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
ReplyDeleteby L Snickett
There was a word that I couldn't understand so I read on and they told me what the word means. The word was damos and I think it meant thank you but I don't lie rattles (the character was a baby).
I am reading Clementine by Sara Pennypacker. I re-read and looked at the other words in the sentence when I didn't understand the word cigar.

ReplyDeleteI am reading There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom by Louis Sachar.
The reading strategy I used was rereading a sentence I didn't understand.
Chihuahuas by:C.Miller
ReplyDeleteI could not undrestand chihuahuas have markings on them so my strategy was to look at the picture.
Henry and Mudge Take the Big Test by Cynthia Rylant. I had to re-read about Mudge dancing. It was just a way to get him to stop jumping.
ReplyDeleteI read some of Chomp! by Melvin Berger . My clunk is I didn't get what cartilage meant. My fix up is I read it again and it said cartilage bends easily.

ReplyDeleteI am reading Lauren the Puppy Fairy by Daisy Meadows. I found the word declared in a sentence, but I did not know what it means at first. The strategy I used to figure out the meaning of declared is reading on. To declare means to say something.

I had no problums.
I am reading Pie in the Sky by Jennifer Smiley.
ReplyDeleteMy fix up was that I had to re read and put a different, more simple word in that made sense for a bigger word.
I further read"Emily And Jackson:Hiding Out"by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.The"clunk"was the word"inherited".The strategy I used was replacing it with another word that made sense.The word I came up with was"received".Now I understand that inherited means something that is passed on.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
ReplyDeleteIn the story they talked about a holographic projection. I went back and re-read because in the chapter before they had described what that was.
Tittle:Jake And Lilly by Jerry SPINELLI.I have no idea what "Crickets shake their rattles" mean.So my stredgy is backtrack.
ReplyDeleteI read chapter 13 and 14 of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. I used the strategy reading-on.
