Read your available BUG CLUB BOOK and answer the comprehension questions.

Remember to use your reading skills:

• Fred Talk unfamiliar words. E.g- f-r-o-g
• Slide the syllables together. E.g fr og becomes frog.
• Chunk new words before putting them together to read. E.g book-let becomes booklet
• Refer to the illustrations (pictures) for clues
• Use the Read to me function to listen to the pronunciation of difficult words.
• Re-read words and sentences you’re unsure of to grasp the meaning.
• Most of all, write down new vocabulary and search for their meaning in dictionaries.
• Make sure you answer all the comprehension questions (quiz questions). This will help you to interpret the meaning of what you have read and also to practise your decoding skills.  

• Now, write a review about your book and share with your class teacher.

 .......and remember, 'The more you READ, the more things you will know.'  Be awesome! Be a book nut!
