Today we reviewed chapters 13 – 15 of Fantastic Mr. Fox and then performed a shared reading of the final chapters, 16 – 18. We worked on pacing and strong pronunciation of “jars” and “badger”. Piero scored 13/17 on our activities related to recall, inferring, and predicting. As we read, we discussed pronunciation and meanings of words such as ruined, ravenous, and succulent. Next, we reviewed vocabulary from chapters 7 – 12 with a fun crossword puzzle and fill-in-the blank sentences. We work to see unfamiliar words at least three times to help reinforce acquisition. Lastly, we had fun with some riddles to work on the skill of inference. Piero was given support of two-choices to aid him in answering the clues to determine “Where Am I?”. Oral language directed activities: Today we had a nice discussion of the Marvel character, Doctor Strange. We then wrapped up our session with some work on Piero’s Revolution. Piero verbally provided more of his story. We worked to establish subject-verb agreement with pluralization, eliminate redundancy with pronouns, and stretch his details with prepositions. We are also looking at preposition use with words such as “on” vs. “to”.
