Maya and I had a great session. She read her folktale aloud to Miss Lynne amazingly well! After that Maya and I found a basket of fable books in the book closet. She was thrilled to bring them back to class. She chose to read The Lion and the Boy. She is doing an excellent job with accepting help for decoding. She no longer looks for answers, but looks for strategies to solve the tricky words on her own! We focus on reading syllables, finding smaller known parts of a larger word and thinking about other words it looks like. Maya has shown major progress in accepting help! After reading Maya and I worked together to determine the moral or lesson. She also determined that cruel means mean using context clues from the sentences.
