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.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

While I was reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I read a spell that I couldn't readlly pronounce so I thought about what kind of situation they were in and what kind of spell they would use.

Re-reading: I re-read the word cannonballing becasue i did not know what it meant. It means
jumping into the water with your arms wrapped around your knees.

ReplyDeleteI finished reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever by J. Kinney. At first I did not know what the word finicky means when I read it in "Mom told me Manny is really finicky about the way his mustard goes on his hot dog." Then I read the context clues around it and visualized it. I figured it out that finicky means picky.
I read some of Motercycles by Susan E. Goodman and Michael J. Doolittle. I didn't understand what knobby tires meant. The fix up I used was to read on in the sentence where it said it grips the trail. Then I knew that knobby meant bumpy.

ReplyDeleteI could not understand fear flooded so I yoused the strategy keep on reading.
I read"Emily And Jackson Hiding Out"by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.My"clunk"was the sentence"And I like this here dog too".I found out what the"clunk meant by re-reading the sentence and it's meaning was that they liked the dog they were with.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Clementine by Sara Pennypacker. I used re-reading and understanding the other words in the sentences when I found a clunk in the sentence with the word resourcefulness.
ReplyDeleteI read Faith First. It doesn't tell me who the author is. I used the strategy of reading on. I didn't understand about Queen Esther so I read on. Reading on helped me to understand who she was.
ReplyDeleteDawn of the Dinosaurs by Sierra Harimann. I re-read the part about the ice crystals and mobile.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. There was a sentence in another language. O Zeu kai alloi theoi. I kept reading and the next sentence told me the meaning in English. It's right behind me!
ReplyDeleteTittle:Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling.My srategy was using a different word like replacing that word.My word that I got clunked on was dismentling so I replaced it with reorganizing.
