10. Fluency  Remember that good readers, like you, pay attention to the way they read aloud so that they sound natural, or like they are just talking.  Natural pauses and breaks are necessary when reading so that the listener knows when one phrase ends and the next begins.  Reading with appropriate phrasing means  Paying attention to punctuation marks,  Organizing words into natural phrases that make meanings clear,  And reading smoothly, clearly, and with expression. T178

11. Fluency cont.  As I read page 202 of “Aero and Officer Mike”, I will pay attention to the punctuation marks so I know where the author intended that I pause. I’ll read together words that make one idea.  It is very early in the morning. Everyone in the house is still asleep. A large black-and-tan German shepherd is lying on the floor by Officer Mike’s bed. The alarm rings. Officer Mike reaches down to pet his dog, Aero.  Aero is a police dog, also know as a K-9 officer. When Officer Mike puts on his uniform with a silver badge on his chest, Aero jumps up, ready to have his wide black leather collar with a police badge on it slipped over his head. He knows that this will be a work day. T178

12. Fluency cont.  Look back at the hyphens (-) between the words black- and-tan. These help the reader know to read these three words together with the words German shepherd.  Notice the commas in the second paragraph. Listen closely as I model reading using the commas to guide me.  Aero is a police dog, also known as a K-9 officer.

13. Fact and Opinion  I want you to explain to me the difference between a fact and an opinion.  A fact is a statement that you can see or prove. An opinion tells beliefs, thoughts, or feelings about a topic.  Knowing the difference between facts and opinions can help a reader figure out what is true and what is not true in a selection. Facts and opinions also help readers form their own opinions about the topic. T179

14. Fact and Opinion  I want you to read the following passage and look for facts and opinions.  When Shawna turned eight, her aunt gave her a cat named Sugarcube. Shawna thought Sugarcube was the best cat in the world, but her parents did not agree. Sugarcube always jumped on the kitchen table, where she was not supposed to be. She also liked to sharpen her claws on the furniture. One day, Sugarcube scratched a huge gash in the family’s new couch. They told her that she needed to train Sugarcube. T179 transparency R43

15. Fact and Opinion cont.  Shawna got right to work. She took books out of the library and looked on the Internet for tips about how to train a cat. She read that scratching posts can help keep cats from scratching furniture, so she bought one for Sugarcube. Immediately, Sugarcube stopped scratching the couch and started sharpening her claws on the new post. Shawna’s research also told her that a spray bottle of water can help make a cat behave. Most cats dislike water, so squirting Sugarcube with the spray bottle kept her off the table. Shawna’s parents were pleased with the changes and now they love Sugarcube too.  What is a fact in the passage?  What is Shawna’s opinion of Sugarcube?  Reread page 208 and tell me what Officer Mike’s opinion is about how Aero does during training.
