Good afternoon,
I just wanted to reach out to parents because this week’s reading skill is a little bit more difficult than the past few weeks. As some of you may have noticed, our skill this week is Text and Graphic Features. This simply means using the various texts (words) and graphics (pictures) in a story to help understand the story better. This week’s weekly story is “Lucia’s Neighborhood”. It is a non-fiction text that gives information about a topic (the main character’s neighborhood).
I have attached a document that gives some examples of text features and their purposes. Please use these tools for better understanding and helping your child at home. Graphic features would just be an pictures, drawings, or images in a story.
You will also notice that the Read Log Summary for this week is a chart that highlights Text and Graphic Features as well.
Also, just a quick note: students have written in their planners that this Thursday 10/1 is our Unit 1 Science test. Our regular weekly LA test and Spelling Quiz will be on Friday.
Thank you for all your efforts!!!
