ing- I Can Identify Problem and Solution & Draw Conclusions
The comprehension skills that we will be focusing on this week are identifying problem and solution & drawing conclusions. Good readers use details in a story to draw conclusions about characters and events. They will learn that it is possible to draw more than one conclusion from the same details. We will continue reading the novel, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, as we work on these skills. There is a comprehension/skill check QUIZ on chapters 1 & 2 of the novel scheduled for Tuesday, 2/4 & another QUIZ on chapters 3 & 4 on Friday, 2/7.
