Intermediate Literacy Review

Session 1, Week 3

Weekl y Updat e:
This week in Intermediate Literacy
Review, students read the non-
fiction story Horse Heroes. They
have worked with new vocabulary
words to help them understand the
story, and have worked on
comprehension strategies and
reading skills. They have created
questions while reading in a Q-
Chart (Question Chart), asking who,
what, when, where, how, and why
questions. Students have completed
Word Squares for each vocabulary
word, where they write the word in
a fun font, find the definition using
the iPad Dictionary App, make a
connection to the word, and
illustrate how it would look. Students
have been practicing their reading
fluency by multiple readings of a
passage, trying to improve on
accuracy and expression. They
continue to practice close reading
and finding evidence to support
their answers. Students continue to
participate in choice reading every
day, and have continued with their
"Independent Reading Contracts" to
demonstrate their comprehension.
