This weeks focus is using context clues when determining the meaning of an unknown word. I ask that parents take the time to read with you child each night. After the child has read for 30 minutes ask them questions about what they have read. I am assigning weekly summarize that need to be done. Students must choose a book, read it and write a summary.
