reading+and+writing

Class Serials With Mr. Graham in Room 10, I am listening to “Holes”. “Holes” is about a boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some shoes fell out of the sky (but really they fell off a bridge) and they were a famous baseball player’s who was donating them to a charity. A boy stole them because he didn’t know any better. The police went up to the boy and he threw them off the bridge. He gets sent to a place like a juvenile detention centre but it has no fences to stop them leaving. But there is no water for more than a 100 miles so you wouldn’t want to go anywhere anyway. The book really sucks you in and you want to hear more about it. Bits and pieces of the movie are good and the book is really good. They match really well if you want to read the book first and then watch the movie. My Favourite Books My favourite books are “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” (the whole series) and Andy Griffiths’ “The Day MY Bum Went Psycho”. I like these books because they are funny. My Reading I’m not sure what to say about my reading – but Jodie tells me I am reading well. I read slowly and carefully when reading out loud. I do read faster if I’m reading silently though. Next term I would like to read faster when I’m reading out loud. If I come across a word I don’t know, I read on and re-read the sentence to help me work it out. Guided Reading I don’t like reading in front of a group of people so I don’t always enjoy guided Reading Sessions. But when it’s my turn, I always read my pages. I read carefully and slowly like when I read just to Jodie. If I am asked a question about the book, I will answer it. Next term I hope to try and contribute to the group a bit more when we chat about the book. Shared Reading This term one of the Shared Reading activities was with Jodie. We read on the interactive whiteboard about an artist – Da Vinci. I already knew a fair bit about him. I chose Da Vinci to research and drew a picture of the circle picture that was on the front cover of the book. I haven’t finished my picture yet.
