We continue to support each other by talking about our books and our reading habits. Students hold each other accountable by asking questions about the plot of books, about how often people read, about how quickly they finish books, and about why they choose the books they do. They also support each other with suggestions, advice, and encouragement.

We continue to add vocabulary words and work on them periodically.

We've used TFK magazines to work on comprehension by reading and talking with a partner, and on self-correcting by keeping track of mistakes that people made when reading out loud.

We read a book called What You Should Know About Pets. We noticed the structure of the book and used that to help us understand what the author was trying to say. We read some together, with me modeling my thinking for students. The students then read different sections in pairs. We used the structure of the book to practice clear speaking as each group shared what they had learned. Students they did some independent writing.
