Reading

Reading This Term I have been focusing on making predictions, checking and changing predictions, clarifying words I don't know how to pronounce or I don't know the meaning of and making qustions either before reading, during reading or after reading.

The way I make predictions when before redaing are the front cover, the title, the contents and the blurb. The way I make predictions when i am reading are the text before it and the names of chapters. The way I clarify words are the text around it, proir knowledge and the names of chapters to see if the word links up with the the word I'm stuck on. Once a week the groups get together and share there ideas to the group. The thing that we share are predictions, any words that we need to clarify and any questions that we need to answer. The strategies I have learn't for making predictions are the front cover, the title, the blurb, the contents and the text that I have read. The stratagies I use for clarifying a word are the text around, the blend/the sounds that the word can make and prior knowledge. The language that I use is: I predict, I am adding on to ........, I am agreeing with........., I am disagreeing with........, I predict this because........ and I checked/changed this because......... The things that I have improved in are making accurate predictions and making accurate clarifycations. The things that I have enjoyed are making predictions and making questions and finding the answer to it.
