In fourth grade, we focus on reading for deeper meaning. We look for character development, details about the setting and author's purpose. We have looked at some texts more closely this week. We used close reading to focus our thinking about the author's message with the lyrics of two songs.
Today, we began looking at a picture book, Suki's Kimono. In this book, we focused on how a character's actions can help the reader learn more about the character. We will continue "close reading" when we begin reading groups next week using chapter books.
