- We are working on smoothing out our reading and becoming more fluent readers. When we do this, we need to be careful not to get going, reading faster and faster, and forget to think about the story. Readers can stop after every few pages to check in and make sure they understand what they read. We are working on retelling stories using story elements (characters, setting, problem, and solution) to help guide us.
- We are “zooming in” to tell our stories in exact actions. This helps the reader to visualize what it is you are writing about. We thought about our purpose for writing particular stories. Is it to make the reader laugh? Cry? Feel angry? Feel peaceful? Then we pushed ourselves to add words that would help our readers feel those emotions.
