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.

  8. I read"Emily And Jackson:Hiding Out"by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.My"clunk"was the sentence"Why buy it if you can make it yourself".I used the strategy"re-reading".The sentence meant that they thought that making at home was better than buying it from a shop.

    I am still reading Lauren the Puppy Fairy by D. Meadows. As read I found characters talking about the Wetherbury Animal Shelter. I had to go back a few pages to find out what that place is. This is an animal shelter at the Spring Show.
