Finn and Jake #15

This is a comprehension strategy assignmnet.  There is a math assignment after it.  Please do these assignments in order.  Thanks.

Directions:

1)  One of your assignments in your planner was to read two pages in the book about Lassie the dog.  If you have not done that, please make sure you do it today.  It is important for you to read a lot now and this summer to be a strong 4th grade reader.

2)  When you are done reading those pages, please go back and write down the words that you don't understand.  It does not matter how many words you write down.

3)  Look for each of those words in your big dictionary, and write down the best definition.  If you can't find it in your big dictionary, then try your pocket dictionary.

4)  Re-read the first two pages and when you get to the words that you wrote down, check the definition and then try to understand the sentence.
