Dillon read two paired informational passages about starfish today. He used these passages to answer questions that required he cite evidence from the text. This close reading exercise reinforced the third grade standard 3RI1.1 which requires students to refer explicitly to text as the a basis for their answers. Dillon also practiced fluency with an article about goldfish. He read at an appropriate rate with fluency and expression. Dillon has been working very hard in our sessions and is doing a fantastic job.
