        ·          Reread when you don’t understand

        ·          Sound out words or chunks of words that you can identify

        ·          Take your time and don’t rush

        ·          Read just right books: If you are missing 5 or more words on a page, maybe the book is too hard.

        ·          Reread... reread ....reread

        ·          When you don’t know a word: ask a friend  or adult, talk about it with your teacher or parent, sound it out

        ·          Use your background knowledge: What do you know about the story or the topic in the story. 

        ·             Keep reading(even if you hit a speed bump)

        Great site for Handwriting practice:
        http://www.handwritingforkids.com/handwrite/math/index.htm

         

         

         

                                                                                 What do Great Writer's Do?

                                 

        ·          Indent new paragraphs

        ·          Use punctuation and capital letters when needed

        ·          Ask some questions in my writing 

        ·          Use some little sentences and some long sentences in our writing

        ·          Try and use terrific, fantastic, excellent word choice in their writings! VIVID VOCABULARY

                         *Use a thesaurus to help you find GREAT words! 

                         Instead of saying LOVE fifty times: say love, adore, admire, cherish, relish, fond of

        ·          Use similes ( Her eyes sparkled like diamonds. She is as skinny as a rail. ) and metaphors

                       ( His stomach is a bottomless pit. Or The mall was a beehive of activity.

        ·          Look for fantastic adjectives… not just a boat, but a mammoth boat

        ·          Have a beginning ( introduction) , middle, and end ( or conclusion)

        ·          Start a sentence with a great HOOK: I want to try and get the reader’s attention. 

        ·          I must have a great conclusion.

                         *I may want to use some good transition words like: Finally, With this in mind, In closing

        ·          Put our “fingerprint” on our writing using adjectives: Does this writing sound like you wrote it? 

        ·          Use compound sentences: I am his sister, and he is my brother.

                                *Reece wanted a good grade on the math test, so she studied last night. 

        ·          Always put a comma after writing no or yes. J (Yes, I want to come with you today.)

        ·          Use a thesaurus or dictionary as an aide ( Try and spell words correctly.)

        ·          Present a clear topic and stay on that topic : Don’t add irrelevant details or details that don’t belong!) 

        ·          Try to make our writing interesting : If you read it and it is boring, go back and make it better! 

        ·          Try to have 5-7 good sentences in our paragraphs

        ·          Reread what we have written to see if it makes sense

        ·          Put apostrophes and quotations marks where they are needed
