Point out words with /j/, /s/, or /k/, and name the letters that stand for the sounds. The cat paced back and forth behind the fence. She had a smudge of chocolate on her face. We baked gingerbread cookies.

Word Structure Sometimes you may come across a long word when you are reading. Look closely at the word. If you see two smaller words, then the word probably is a compound word. You may be able to use the two smaller words to help you figure out the meaning of the compound word. For example, sunshine is light that shines from the sun.

1. Divide the compound word into its two small words. 2. Think of the meaning of each small word. Put the two meanings together. Does this help you understand the meaning of the compound word?

3. Try the meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense?

Let’s read “Interested in Insects.” Use the meanings of the smaller words in a compound word to help you understand its meaning.

I know that a fire is very hot and glowing. I know that flies are insects. So fireflies are insects that glow in the dark.

To make most present tense verbs agree with singular subjects or he, she, or it, add -s. If the subject is a plural noun or I, you, we, or they, the present tense verb does not end in -s.

Night Letters Writing Day 2

Tomorrow we will write a friendly letter. I could write a letter to my friend Sam about my plan to start a recycling club. How should I organize the details? I could list all the steps it will take to start the club, such as researching the recycling our town does and posting flyers for my club. I would organize the steps in the order they should be done so my plan makes sense.
