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 Chunk My Words

I am in Tuataras for Reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies. 

I need to look for chunks (word parts) that I know to help me read the word quickly.

My Reflection

I am learning to chunk my words. I found this tricky because I didn't  know how many sounds there were. My next step is to learn more of the words.

Reading Eggs

I am learning to sound out 3 letter words by saying all the sounds and blending them together.  Reading Eggs helps me to reinforce my learning.

"Reading Eggs helps me to learn knowing about the alphabet and words" said Sofia

I am learning to sound out 3 letter words.

I am learning to say the first, middle and last sound in a word and then blend the sounds together to write the word.  This can help me in my reading and my writing.

"I can miss the words out if I do not know them.  I can look at the picture to give me a clue. " said Sofia.

I am learning to make the beginning sounds

I am learning to make the beginning sounds in unknown words.  I need to get my mouth ready to make the sound and this activity helps me remember.

" I can look at the pictures.  I can read and look." said Sofia
