Since the last blog post, we have read several books:
• The Mystery of the Vasa
• Two of a Kind: The Special Connection Between Identical Twins
• Unaccompanied
• Naturally Sweet and Addicted to Sugar (a two-way book).

Our lessons have focused on:
• Comprehension - noticing when authors summarize the reasons or ideas in a book;
• Fluency - putting stress on certain words to reflect the author's message;
• Word Study - using prefixes to help you read and understand words;
• Comprehension - noticing when an author give you his/her central argument;
• Fluency - using what you know about a character's feelings to read with expression that matches the text.
