We will be focusing on reading comprehension , word recognition, and spelling over the remainder of the school year. Today, our class discussion addressed reading comprehension skills and focused reading. In response to questions, we discussed the causes and events leading up to Little Bear's seriously wounding Boone . We then worked on drawing inferences by inferring Little Bear's remorse from the text. I returned Atticus' recent quiz that basically tested plot comprehension. As he had significant difficulty with the exam, I directed Attius to specific pages in the novel and had him reread the text and provide the correct answers. We further worked on the distinction between "there, and their." Last, Atticus began writing a plot summary of chapter 14 which he will complete tonight for homework.
