 The spelling words for this week end
with –tion or –sion.
 -tion is pronounced /shən/ and –sion is
pronounced either /shən/ or /zhən/.
Fluency
 If listeners cannot understand what a reader
says, they will not understand the story.
 A way to avoid this confusion is to recognize
that punctuation is like a road map for good
reading.
 Commas, periods, question marks, and
exclamation points tell readers how to read.
 You should use punctuation marks as clues
for when to pause, stop, ask, or exclaim.


I will pause at commas and stop at periods. When a
character asks a question, my voice will rise at the
end. I will show excitement when I come across an
exclamation point. If I make a mistake, I will correct it
and continue reading.
Teacher read aloud page 305.
Wilbur is trying to spin a web, but fails.
When he falls, he makes an Ooomp! sound.
Without the exclamation point, I would not have
known to read the word with emphasis.
Students echo read page 305.
