Reading Topics
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and
phrases based on grade 4 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
"I Can" Statement:
I can determine the meaning of unknown words using context clues.
What will we learn? This week, we will be reviewing identifying meaning of unknown words by only using the text. Students will be working with vocabulary within texts that have a higher level of difficulty than usual so they can work hard to create meaning within the text.
