In Comprehension and fluency we have read a range of imaginative and informative texts. We have been looking at different features and aspects of texts and their purposes. We have also consolidated our use of punctuation such as full stops, question and exclamation marks, commas, talking marks and ellipsis to assist our reading fluency. In grammar we have been focusing on new pronouns such as him her them me and us as well as looking at adjectives and how they improve our sentences.
Home Reading
Please continue to read with your child each night and record the book title in the home reading diary next to the date the book was completed. Diaries will be checked and the nights read recorded. Home reading books should be returned to school the following day. If your child has a chapter book the expectation is that the students should read 10-15 minutes are night. We do not expect them to finish the book in one night.
