Vocabulary/Word Work Thesaurus: Synonyms A synonym is a word that has the same or a very similar meaning to another word. Finding synonyms for an unfamiliar word can help you to understand its meaning. You can use a Thesaurus to find synonyms. Synonym Slider Game Synonym Memory Squanky’s Synonyms Thesaurus Practice

Vocabulary/Word Work Prefixes A prefix is added to the beginning of a base word or root. Prefixes change the meaning of the words to which they are attached. un means “not” What do you think unfair means? Not every word that begins with un- is a base with a prefix, for example , union and universe. Race to Ramses!

Vocabulary/Word Work: Multiple Meaning Words Some words have more than one meaning listed in the dictionary. To find the meaning of an unfamiliar word in a dictionary, all entries for that word should be checked. Context clues can help readers decide which of these meanings the writer is using in a sentence. Example: The handle broke off the bucket. John is always calm because he can handle pressure well. Homograph Games

Text Feature: Electronic Card Catalog If you want to check out a book written by Beverly Cleary, where would you look? Subject Title Author Call Number Journal Title Word Search

Text Feature: Links When reading online articles, you will find words underlined or in another color, usually blue. These words are links to other pages with information on that particular topic. In the article below, what would you click on to find out about Christmas presents?

Text Feature: Haiku A Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. Haiku’s focus on an aspect of nature. Haiku’s have three short lines. The first and third lines usually have the same number of syllables. What picture is created by the imagery used in this haiku? What do you think the author is meaning by the “doghouse”?

Comprehension: Evaluate When evaluating a story, you can ask yourself: Why has the author included these details? Why has the author described the character this way? Why has the author used poetic language, humor, or suspense? By asking these kinds of questions, students can increase their understanding and appreciation of the story and of the author’s purpose in writing it.

Comprehension: Author’s Purpose As you read, ask yourself if the author is trying to entertain, inform, or persuade. If a selection includes humor or suspense, the author’s purpose may be to entertain. If the author gives a lot of information about a topic, the purpose is probably to inform. An author whose purpose is mainly to persuade tries to get the reader to think or act a certain way. Remember, many selections have more than one purpose. Often you are asked what the author’s purpose is for a selection. You will have to analyze the selection and choose the author’s MAIN purpose. Author’s Purpose Practice Author’s Purpose Quiz

Comprehension: Inferences Good readers make inferences to understand things the author wants them to know but does not directly state in the story. To make inferences, you can use information from the text, illustrations, and things you already know to make connections. Inferences about Plot Practice Inferences Make Inferences

Comprehension: Foreshadowing and Symbolism Authors sometimes use literary elements to make writing more interesting and add suspense. Foreshadowing hints at what is going to happen without giving a piece of the story away. It is used to build suspense in the reader. Symbolism uses concrete objects to represent qualities or ideas such as love, happiness, or courage.

Text Feature: Letters Letters are written messages that people send to each other. Letters can be hand written or typed. Letters may appear in different forms, such as a friendly letter or a business letter.

Text Feature: Salutation and Body A salutation is the line in the letter in which the writer greets the person to whom she or he is writing. A salutation usually uses the word Dear to greet the person. The body of a letter is the main part of the letter containing the message. The body is divided into one or more paragraphs. Practice: Friendly Letters

Text Feature: Salutation and Body of a Letter 1 Candy Cane Lane North Pole, US 1256 December 13, 2008 Dear Teacher, It is time for you to send me your class lists. I know you have some concerns about some of your students. I have been watching them very closely. I am excited to see your students doing so well in reading. I hope they keep that up over the holidays. Thank you for taking the time to help me compile my good and naughty list. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Your friend, Santa Where does Santa include his questions about the students in the teacher’s class?

Comprehension: Summarize When summarizing, it is important to identify the main ideas, supporting details, and the order in which events take place or topics are introduced. Summarize Summarize Game

Comprehension: Sequence Sequence refers to the order in which events take place in a story or the order in which information is given in nonfiction. Events in a story usually occur in time order. That is, you read about the earliest events first and follow along until the last events occur at the end. Sometimes, however, the events are told out of order, but the author usually gives clues that help you recognize the sequence. Signal words and phrases to help you identify sequence are: first, next, than, last, and finally. Sequence Sequence

Comprehension: Main Idea and Details The main idea is the most important idea of a paragraph. It is often the first sentence of a paragraph. Most of the other sentences will support the main idea. Supporting ideas are the sentences that support the main idea. Sometimes a writer includes details that do not support the main idea. These details make the passage more interesting, or they might provide a little more information.

Comprehension: Compare and Contrast A comparison tells how two or more ideas, things, or people are alike. Comparisons may not be directly stated I a text, so you will need to look for clues that the author is showing things to be similar. Some words and phrases that signal comparisons include similar, also, in addition, in the same way, likewise, and too.
