Bobby engaged in collaborative, sustained reading about the Olympics' outcomes. We talked about many conventions of writing as we read, and he self-corrected, and corrected his reading as prompted. We discussed: comma usage, use and purpose of italics in writing, use and purpose of parentheses in writing, making inferences based on language, references, and the function of hyperlinks in websites. As we read, we also discussed pertinent geography and history. He decoded many challenging, new words, and read fluently and with great emphasis. We completed a word ladder activity requiring him to solve riddles about words using the vowels: 'ai', 'ou', 'au'. He also completed an activity which required choosing appropriate punctuation to complete the narrative text.
