November Update
Here's What We're Learning
In reading, we are focusing on using RACE to respond to short answer questions. We've been doing a lot of practice with how to restate the question in our answers and find text evidence.
We are also working on making inferences. Good readers make inferences while reading to improve their understanding of the story or text. An inference is when we understand things that the author does not tell us! We infer why things happen, why characters behave the way they do, and how characters are feeling. The reader creates images and inferences based on what the author does tell you and your own knowledge. This is one of the more difficult skills for students to grasp, and is also one of the largest components of reading tests.
