Our session began with Gracyn selecting our books for her partner/guided reading, independent reading and reading aloud. She read "Pigeon Wants a Puppy" and we read ""Hooray Fly Guy". Our read aloud was "Lovable Lyle" and we had a dual focus of inferring and determining the author's message.Gracyn did a very good job with both strategies. We also noticed the features of this fiction story and contrasted them with her own non-fiction book.
