Term 3 reading

In reading we have been using the notability app to learn about our inquiry topic;planets.


First we photographed the text. Then we read it with our reading buddy. When we have finished reading,we highlighted words we didn't know or weren't sure about.

In class we talked about our highlighted ideas and worked out their meanings. Sometimes we did a word study or some research into one of the questions we came up with.

Here are some examples.







Something I did well was focused on my work.
Something I need to work on is making my letters a better colour and size so I can read it more clearly.
