Reading Challenge

Last week, Mrs Anderson put us into reading groups. Next our teacher gave us different challenges we had to complete. Our first challenge was to explain what our story we read was about in 25 words. While Challenge 2  and three was where we read a story and had to fill in the missing words. The story we had to fill the words in for were called Tickling fish, The story of Opo, and Fish. Now today we have just marked our stories. Our learning intention was to follow instructions and making sure we had to read for understanding and meaning. We also practised a skill called Skimming n' Scanning. You use this technique when reading a text or a page of a book or something. Skimming is like a plane, it goes over something once quite quickly. Scanning is like a helicopter, it finds what it is looking for and then hovers over until the info is found.
