I Am Learning To Retell The Main Ideas From Non Fiction Text

For reading we had to retell the main ideas from a non fiction text. 

Then in my reading group we created a mind map together on the website Popplet to help record the main ideas.

I Am Learning To Read With Fluency And Expression

I need to remember to:

*think about the meaning of the words as I read  

*add expression by changing the volume, speed, and feeling in my voice

*read smoothly and quickly (not like a robot)

When I read with fluency and expression it helps me to understand the text more!

It also helps other people to understand the text more too.

I Am Learning To Retell A Story

I need to remember to:

*Think about the story as I am reading it
*Look at the pictures to help me understand the story
*Retell the story in order from the beginning to the middle to the end

I Am Learning To Sound Out 3 Letter Words

I am in Kiwis for reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies. We have been learning to sound out 3 letter words.

We need to:
*Sound out each letter in the word in order
*Blend the sounds together to read the word

We love using Stretchy Snake!

My Reflection
I am learning to stretch words out. I found this easy because I know how to spell the words. My next step is to spell by sounding out slowly. 

Using onomatopoeia in our Reading

We have been Reading with Miss Lee this term. Our learning has been based around fireworks because it was Guy Fawkes day. We made a sentence about our fireworks too.

Look at the awesome art we made with our Reading groups!

Using Punctuation in our Reading

We are learning to know that illustrations can help me to read the story.

'The squirrel is funny because he is like the one from Ice Age.'

Asking Questions about the Story

We are learning to ask and answer questions about the story.
'There are lots of animals in the story.'
