I Am Learning To Retell The Main Ideas From Non Fiction Text

For reading we had to retell the main ideas from a non fiction text. 

Then in my reading group we created a mind map together on the website Popplet to help record the main ideas.

I Am Learning To Read With Fluency And Expression

I need to remember to:

*think about the meaning of the words as I read  

*add expression by changing the volume, speed, and feeling in my voice

*read smoothly and quickly (not like a robot)

When I read with fluency and expression it helps me to understand the text more!

It also helps other people to understand the text more too.

I Am Learning To Retell A Story

I need to remember to:

*Think about the story as I am reading it
*Look at the pictures to help me understand the story
*Retell the story in order from the beginning to the middle to the end

I Am Learning To Chunk My Words

I am in Pukekoes for Reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies. 

I need to look for chunks (word parts) that I know to help me read the word quickly.

My Reflection
I am learning to chunk my words. I found this easy to chunk the words. I need to remember to use this with harder words.

Reading Eggs

I am learning to make the first and last sounds so I can work out the word for myself.  Reading Eggs helps to reinforce my learning.

"I can read the sounds on the quiz so that I can learn how to spell the word" said Manawa.

I am learning to sound out 3 letter words.

I am learning to say the first, middle and last sound in a word and then blend the sounds together to write the word.  This can help me in my reading and my writing.

"I can listen in my head to the story and I can sound out the words I don't know." said Manawa

I am learning to know my alphabet names and sounds

I am learning to make the beginning sounds in unknown words.  I need to get my mouth ready to make the sound and this activity helps me remember.

"I can point to the words." said Manawa
