It's Time to Reflect
Reading Response Question for January 24-January 28
Now that we are about halfway through third grade, it’s time to reflect on what we have learned as readers. We have talked about all kinds of strategies like predicting, questioning, making connections, inferencing (using the author’s clues), rereading to clarify, and thinking about genre. What are some things you have learned this year that have helped you become a better reader? What are some goals that you still have as a reader?

Questions, Anyone?
Reading Response Question for the Week of January 10-14
We have been discussing “I wonder” questions while we read. Asking questions before, during, and after reading is a strategy that helps us keep our attention focused on the important details we are reading. We are able to think about what needs to be clarified and what might be important for us to know. When we have a question, we read more carefully in order to find the answers we need.
Using a book you are reading at home, jot down a question you had about the text. What made you ask that question?

Sideways Stories from Creeds School
Reading Response Question for Week of January 3-7
In class we are reading a fantasy fiction book called Sideways Stories from Wayside School which is a collection of stories about a wacky school and the weird things that happen there. The students and teachers have all sorts of strange adventures! Imagine if Creeds School were like that! Think of something weird and wacky that could happen here (it could be fantasy). What would it be?
