Today’s Read Aloud Set a purpose – Why would someone want to read or listen to a poem more than once? To better understand what the poet says, to listen for word pictures and images. Listen and follow along as I read the poem aloud. Listen for words that rhyme or have similar sounds. Listen as my voice gets lower and higher as I read. Pay attention to punctuation as you read.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
