Meaning of Words

Reflection:  It was hard to think about if the word meanings were right .  I know if I don't know some thing I can search it up in a dictionary . It was easy to do some of the words but some words were hard. Next time I will need some help.  I have been learning to figure out what the words mean.

Reading for Information

This term I have been learning to read for information, to answer questions, summarise key ideas and present my facts using 'Poster My Wall'.

Reflection:  

It was hard to spell the words croectly. It was easy to pick the photo. It was intresting to find out more facts about snails. I learnt that snails are very intresting. Next time I need more help on it.Now I need to do more thinking not rushing.

Learning to Infer

Making Connections to What I Read

This term I have been learning to make a personal connection between the text and something in my own life

It  helps me to be a better reader when I...

• think of a time when...
• think of a memory or what it reminds me of
• think about how the character is thinking or feeling
• 
  

Reading with Fluency and Expression

I have been learning to read with fluency and expression:

• scan along with my eyes (not just reading word by word
• think of the first sound and get ready to say it
• Look for the punctuation - the beginning and end of sentences

Reflection:  I've got better at reading aloud.  I really keep looking at the words.  I felt proud when I heard it.  Its better than the other one.  Ali  22.11.17

Reading to an Audience

I am learning to read to an audience using phrasing and expression.



Reflection:  I still get stuck on some words.  I think I did the first page really good.  Ali 30.08.17

Well done Ali, you did really well with the first two pages.  It helps you to read the text through in your mind first so that you can scan the line.  Check those sounds carefully and think about what the words might be as you go.

Learning to recognise digraphs, blends, base words and endings to help me read.

I have been learning to...

• recognise digraphs and blends
• recognise base words and endings

Learning to identify sounds in words to help my reading

I am learning to:

• identify phonic sounds and letters
• use Reading Eggs to help me learn a range of sounds in words
• recognise beginning, end and medial vowel sounds in three letter words

I am learning to write the sounds, I kept the middle and changed the beginning and the end. I learned different words.  This activity was easy for me.  I find it tricky to sound a and u.

Well done Ali. 'a' is tricky because we say it differently for the word 'a' which you think of from reading.  Think of the 'a' as a as in CAT  and 'u' as in CUT.

Reading

I am learning to recognise compound words. They are two words put together to make a new word. Here I am playing my match up game!

"Pop and corn make popcorn! Compound words are two words put together to make another new word" said Ali.

Reading

I am learning to match rhyming words together. Here I am playing my activity with my group. I know that star and jar rhyme.

"Jar and star rhyme and log and fog too" said Ali.

Reading

I am learning to sound out new words by myself and to look at the pictures to help me read unknown words.

“I can look at the pictures to help me read because I can match the pictures to my words” said Ali.
