11/1
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.

I read Just Grace Walks the Dog by Charise Harper. When I had a clunk I replaced the word.

I kept reading to figure it out.
I read some of the Encyclopedia of US Spacecraft by Bill Yenne. My clunk is I didn't know what aerodynamic meant. My fix up is I read more of it and figured out it has to do with flying

ReplyDeleteIn Lauren the Puppy Fairy by D. Meadows I got stuck when I read that "Rachel whispered in a determined voice 'We'll just have to keep our eyes open!'". This part was confusing because at the end of the sentence there is an exclamation point, but she actually whispered. I figured it out by rereading that whispering in a determined voice means to say it like you really mean it.
