In reading, the students have begun to learn the strategy of finding the main idea of a text. They have been reading passages and thinking about the title and pictures as well as the key words to help them understand the main idea.  

In Writing, the students have begun to explore persuasive texts. They have listened to The True story of the Three Little Pigs and need to decide if they believe the wolf, is innocent. They have begun to discuss how wolves are portrayed in fairy tales and how this might affect how the wolf is viewed.
