4. I saw a fish in trouble, A Helping Hand See that dog in trouble?
He lay upon the sand,
He gasped for help and water,
He asked me for a hand.
I threw him back into the sea,
And I was glad, but then
I saw a bird in trouble.
She was hunted by some men.
I told the men to leave her be,
And so they went away.
And I was glad that she was free,
But then I heard her say,
See that dog in trouble?
He lost his favorite bone.
He looked in holes he’d dug before,
But he went looking all alone.
And so I looked all day,
From morning until the end.
I found the dog a better bone,
And made my third good friend.

5. R-Controlled Vowel /or/
course source fourth pour
All of these words have the /or/ sound spelled our. The spelling our does not always stand for the /or/ sound. Sometimes it stands for a different sound, as in sour. There is no good rule for when our stands for /or/ and when it stands for another sound. You will have to try each sound to see which one makes a familiar word.
T158

6. Many words with the /or/ sound are homophones, or words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.

9. Fluency - Accuracy
It is important for readers to read clearly at the appropriate rate. You should also think about what you are reading so you know when you have made a mistake.
Read slowly enough that you can think about the meaning of the words and sentences.
Use punctuation marks as clues for when to pause, stop, ask, or exclaim.
I’m going to read aloud two pages from “Lon Po Po.” I will read slowly enough to make sure that I pronounce words correctly. I will try to sound natural, just as I do when I am talking. If I make a mistake, I will correct it and then go on reading. Turn to page 23 in your student edition. After I read, you will echo-read.

10. Fluency
With a partner, reread aloud a page from “Lon Po Po.” Remember to read accurately and to use the punctuation to help you know when to pause and what expression to use. You should not rush as you read and it is okay to correct mistakes while you are reading. Listen to your partner read. Offer feedback about their accuracy and guidance for improvement.

11. Compare & Contrast
Thinking about how characters, setting, and events are similar and how they are different in a story can help you understand and enjoy the story.
Comparing and contrasting the characters, settings, and events in two stories can help a reader better understand and enjoy both stories.
Listen as I reread the beginning of “Red Riding Hood.”

12. Compare & Contrast
Reread the first few pages of “Lon Po Po” in your student edition.
Who are the main characters in each fairy tale?
How are Shang and Red Riding Hood alike?

Draw a venn diagram on your paper like the one I have drawn on the board. Compare & contrast the two stories by writing facts in each of the circles.

13. Prefixes & Suffixes (re-, un-, -ful, -less)
A root word is the main part of a word. For example, read is a root word.
Prefixes are letters or syllables added to the beginning of a root word.
Suffixes are letters or syllables added to the end of a root word.
When a prefix or suffix is added, a new word with a new meaning is formed.

14. Prefixes & Suffixes re- “to do again” -ful – “full of” un- “not”
-less – “without”
reread
Re- comes before the root word read. Adding re- to read makes the new word reread, which means to “read again.”
*Knowing the meanings of prefixes and suffixes can help you know the meanings of words.

15. Prefixes & Suffixes Visit
What prefix or suffix would we add to visit? What does the new word mean?
