ELA:
We will be reading the story: Alexander Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst and A Chair For my Mother by Vera B. Williams
I can understand that knowing the structure of the story can help with comprehending the text RL.2.5
I can understand key details to answer questions in close reading. RL. 2.1
I can understand different points of view within the text RL. 2.7
I can use information from illustrations to better understand the characters feelings and actions. RL 2.7
Common Learning Goal: I can understand that knowing the story structure helps me at understanding the story, key details, points of view, and illustrations to better understand the character's feelings.
Students will practice these skills using comprehension discussion questions, writing short response, using sequence graphic organizers and character response graphic organizers. I will encourage your child to practice these skills with their own on level fictional books during silent reading time using these kinds of organizers!!! Ask your child these questions when reading at home!!
Write in your child's planner if you want a copy of this for practice with reading instead of using the Reading log. Your child can fill these out using fiction library books or other books of their own at their level!!! Students are starting to earn more rewards for every time they read!! Make sure your child is reading for at least 10 minutes each night or when your child starts receiving his/her reading level bookmark, have your child practicing his/her words or power goal cards for the night instead!!!!
Great website below for Reading practice!!
