12/18 Fact and Opinion

We have talked about facts and opinions. A fact is something that we can prove with text evidence. An opinion is something that either the reader or author feels. We may agree or disagree with an opinion. 

Read for 20 minutes. Record the title and author of your book. Then, record either 1 fact or 1 opinion from your book. Tell us how you know that the sentence is a fact or an opinion. Happy Reading!

12/17 Inference

UPDATE: Please have your child write their blog on a piece of paper from this week until the end of December. This should be turned in each day, as the blog is not currently allowing comments. Thanks for your flexibility!

We have begun to learn about making inferences while reading, another skill that readers use to better comprehend their reading. When a reader makes an inference, they are using their background knowledge, as well as clues from the text to make an inference, or guess about the text.

Read for 20 minutes. Record the title of your books and the author’s name. Then write and tell me about an inference that you made. Use these sentence stems.

The text told me_____________________. I know ____________________. I can infer that ______________________________.

Example: I read Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. The text told me that Max was dressed up in a wolf suit. I know that playing dress up requires you to use your imagination. I can infer that Max likes to use his imagination.
