What do good readers do? 
Hello students and parents. We will be working with the Journeys reading program again this year. Each lesson we will focus on a story and comprehension skill. We will be working on a 6-day cycle for most lessons.

Skip a word, read on, and then go back

Ask yourself "Does it make sense?"
Comprehension-
make connections (text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world)
-
do a retelling
-
use visualization
-
make predictions and inferences
Fluency-
read to make it sound like talking

pay attention to punctuation
-
read to show emotions (for example, if a word is in all CAPITALS, it should be read with feeling!)
