9/26

We've been making connections with our reading and our lives!

Good readers think while they read.  They notice when characters in the text experience things that they have too.  They notice when a character is feeling a way they have felt before.  When a character is visiting a place that the reader has been before, it's easy for that reader to get a good idea of what's going on in the story.  

Please practice this skill as you read for 20 minutes this evening. 

Then, in the comment section write and tell me the title and the author of the book you read. 
Let me and your friends know what connection you made while you were reading.

You can use these sentence stems to help you...

That reminds me of…That made me think of the time…I can relate….

  1. Sky the Blue Fairy by Daisy Meadows

    When I read the part that Sky saw a crab at the beach it made me think of the time me and my family went to the beach in Corpus Christi and we saw a crab.
