APRIL

We have learned our last two reading strategies for decoding words in text. One of them is "skippy the frog." Skippy tells us that if we don't know a word and our other strategies are not helping us figure out what the word is, we will skip it and read the rest of the sentence. Then we will "hop" back to try to figure out what word would make the most sense. The other strategy we learned was "Tryin' Lion." Tryin' Lion suggests that you reread the sentence and try a word that makes sense and you KEEP TRYING!
