Targets for Today: I can read independently and can build up my reading endurance. I can read fluently. I can use reading strategies to help myself focus and comprehend.

Today’s  Agenda: Pick up your folder. 1.  Independent, quiet reading.      Don't forget to record your reading on your reading log. 2. Partner Fluency Practice     Don't forget to record each time you read. 3. During Reading Strategies:  Fix-Up Strategies  Fix-Up Strategies   If you don't get it at first use these  fix-up  strategies: Check your own inner voice.    Are you paying attention to the text, thinking about it, or are you thinking about something else?  If you are not focused on the text, FOCUS. If you didn't get it the first time, focus on it, and read it again. If you still don't get it, try reading it out loud. If you still don't get it, try reading ahead a bit.  The next sentence or so may help you understand what you just read.  If you still don't understand, look for any words that may be getting in your way.  Are there terms you don't understand?    Is there something in the context that gives you a clue about what they mean?   Can you look them up?  Could you ask someone who would know what they mean?   If you've really tried all of these strategies, and you still don't understand, ask someone who can help you. Finish reading the article and filling out your Inner Voice Graphic organizer.  A3 and A4 went over peg system through 5.
