awkward

ly

Teacher Slide 2

This is a 3 syllable word wormed from the base word awkward and the suffix –ly.

First I cover the suffix and read the base word “awkward”.

Then I blend the base word and the suffix to read the whole word awkwardly.

The suffix –ly can mean “in a way.”

So awkwardly means in an awkward way.

During Reading*Story and Add to G.O.

After Reading: Partner A tell partner B what has happened so far. Partner B tell partner A what you heard them say and anything they left out that you think should be told about the story.

Predict.

A cause is something that makes something happen.

An effect is something that happens because of the cause.

Marcus didn’t bring his coat, so he was cold.

The family had seven members so their apartment was crowded.

Because Marcus was new to America, there were many things

about the country he didn’t understand.

Shutting Out the Sky- Wednesday Comprehension Lesson , pages 124-127(Green)

Before Reading Retell what happened so far. Remember that we want to think while we are reading. We can stop at the end of each paragraph and ask ourselves what information was provided. If we don’t know, what can we do? What is a strategy that will help us remember what we thought about?
