11/8
This week in reading we are continuing to use Fix- Up strategies. We are learning about using context clues to help us figure out the meaning of unknown words. Read for 20 minutes. Record the Title of your book and the Author’s name. Write about a word that you used context clues to find the meaning for or tell about other reading strategies you used.

ReplyDeleteI am still reading Ivy and Bean-Break the Fossil Record. In it I found the word shattering and I didn't know what it meant. When I started reading the context clues it made more sense to me. I know now that the word shattering means a voice that is really loud.
