I am working on…

• Accurately reading some words of two or more syllables
• Sounding out most unfamiliar words accurately and without hesitation
• Reading most words without overt sounding and blending
• Applying my growing knowledge of root words and suffixes to read aloud
• Suffixes/word endings, include -ment, -less, -ness, -ful and –ly
• Predicting what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far - Tell me what you think might happen next? Why do you think this?
• Inferring ideas (hidden meanings) based on what is said and done in a text
• Paying attention to punctuation when reading
