Today's lesson addressed reading comprehension and spelling skills. As we have studied the "Charge of Light Brigade, " and a short paragraph providing historical background Atticus' homework contained reading comprehension questions on the assignment and class work. During class ,we discussed the need to carefully read and answer the question as well as the need to carefully read the assigned material. I assisted Atticus in locating the textual support for the answers to the homework questions which Atticus then revised. We then completed a number of spelling exercises on the "doubling rule" when adding vowel suffixes.
