The words above are root words, and they are also
verbs, or action words.
You have already learned about adding prefixes to
words.
Suffixes are another word part that can be added to
words.
collect + tion= collection
Notice how the final t in collect is dropped when the
suffix is added.
discuss + sion= discussion
-tion is usually pronounced as shun and –sion is often
pronounced the same way.

Comprehension



Authors often do not tell us all the details in a story.
Part of the fun of reading is to figure out those things.
Let’s read page 296 and 297 in your Student Edition
together.
As I read, I ask myself, “What does the author tell us
about spiders?” The author tells us that the spider has
a door that is hard to see. Then I think about what I
know: spiders catch and eat insects. I can infer that the
spider will use the hidden trap door to help it catch
insects.
Make Inferences

Use the graphic organizer below to help
you make inferences.
What You Already Know
What the Author Tells You
A spider has a door on the
burrow that is hard to see.
Spiders eat insects.
Inference
The spider will use the hidden door to help it catch
insects.
Listening Comprehension




You will be listening to a story about a little ant who
never gives up.
Many stories have animal characters that are similar
to humans. What stories do you know in which
animal characters can talk and feel emotions?
“The Little Red Ant and the Great Big Crumb” is a
fable in which events happen that could not occur
in real life. The story also contains a lesson.
As I read the title, I see that this is a Mexican fable.
This tells me that the story will have a lesson. I can
guess that there may be talking animals, since many
fables have this type of character.
Listening Comprehension



Authors do not tell us every detail about a story.
Readers often need to figure out things about
characters and events for themselves.
Listen as I read the first two paragraphs.
I learn that the red ant is smaller than her cousins.
Then I think about what I know. I know that the
smaller animals can have trouble keeping up with larger
animals. I can infer that the little ant has trouble
keeping up because she is smaller than her cousins.
After Reading:
 What lesson did the little ant learn?
 She learned that she could manage things on
her own.

Robust Vocabulary
The big coyote’s coat was bristly.
 If something is bristly, it is covered with
short, stiff hairs.
 Do you prefer a smooth brush or a bristly
brush for your hair?
 The lizard was making a dreadful noise.
 If something is dreadful, it is scary or
terrible.
 Which is more dreadful, a test or Saturday
chores?

Robust Vocabulary


Wilbur was adamant about making his own web.
If someone is adamant about something, he or
she is very determined and won’t change his or
her mind about it.
Are you adamant about choosing your own
clothes, or do you prefer someone else to
choose?
It is inevitable that Wilbur will not spin a web.
If something is inevitable, it cannot be avoided
or stopped.
Is it inevitable that best friends have a lot in
common, or can they be different?
Grammar: Irregular Verbs
I walk to the park every Saturday.
•
What is the action verb?
•
walk is in the present tense
•
I walked to the park yesterday.
•
walked is a past-tense verb that tells about an event that already
happened. This is an example of a regular verb and the past tense
has an –ed ending.

Some other regular verbs in the past tense include: talked, bicycled,
looked

Not all verbs are regular. Some verbs are irregular and do not add

Student Model: Directions
How to Give Your Dog a Bath
First, brush your dog’s hair. Take out any knots before bath
time.
Next, fill the bathtub with warm water. Near the bathtub,
place a large cup or bowl, a warm towel, and a bottle of
shampoo for dogs.
Put your dog into the bathtub. Go slowly if your pet is
nervous about water.
Use the cup or bowl to pour water gently over your dog’s
body.
Lather your dog’s fur for several minutes with the dog
shampoo. Let the shampoo soak in before washing it off. Do
not forget to wash your dog’s paws, which can get very dirty.
Wash off the shampoo using the cup or bowl. Then, gently
squeeze your dog’s coat to get rid of excess water.
Take your dog out of the bathtub, and wrap him or her in a
warm towel.
Dry your dog with a towel.
