Reading Strategy: Decoding

Who is frightened by unfamiliar words they see in text after today's lesson?

Knowing your 'parts of speech' will help you decode many words that you do not know.

Change to Tuesday's H/W. (Due: Wed)

Copy 5 sentences from any source you can find that contain at least one difficult vocabulary word.  (you may have your parents write a couple of sentences for you.)

Make a rough guess of the meaning of the vocabulary word by using your 'parts of speech' strategy

e.g. The loquacious man frustrated the group
adj (before a noun -man)
educated guess = describing word for man=annoying?


Buxton Class - Mummy Mystery Prediction  Now due Thursday
Follow the guidelineson the H/W sheet under Monday for this activity.


Both classes: The Design a Seal activity is postponed until later in the week
