finest
When you hear words that end with the sounds /ful/, /lē/,
and /est/, the suffixes probably will be spelled as the above
words.
nicer
teacher
sailor
The suffixes on these words are all pronounced the same
way although not all of them are spelled the same way or
have the same meanings.
Which word compares things?
nicer
When you hear a word that is used to compare things, the
word usually is spelled with the letters –er.
The suffixes –er and –or both can mean “one who does
something”
You will have to memorize whether a word ends with –er
or –or.
Phonics and Spelling



Words with suffixes can be difficult to
spell because the spelling of the root
words may change.
What can you do to help make sure
you correctly spell words with suffixes?
Remember that root words that end in
y or e often have their spelling
changed when a suffix is added.
Fluency



When good readers read aloud, they
break up the text into phrases.
This helps the sentences make sense,
and it helps them flow naturally.
As you read, you should:
– Pay attention to punctuation marks.
– Think about where ideas begin and end.
– Try to sound like natural speech.

As I read page 93 of “Me and Uncle Romie,” I am
going to pay attention to the punctuation marks to
break the sentences into phrases. See if you think
that makes my reading easier to understand.
Pay attention to the comma in the last sentence in
the fifth paragraph on page 93 (Come, let’s get you
to bed.)
Not pausing for the comma makes the sentence
difficult to understand.
Look at the first sentence of the next paragraph.
Lying in the dark, I heard heavy footsteps in the
hall.
Again notice the comma where we should pause.
Echo-read page 93.
Theme: Comprehension



A story’s theme is the main message
or lesson that readers learn from the
story.
Readers usually have to use clues in
the story to figure out the theme.
Clues can come from the events, the
dialogue, and the personalities of the
characters.
Theme: Comprehension
What Is It?
Mara and her older sister Ronda walked to their new school. “I
don’t like our new neighborhood,” said Mara. “It’s so crowded.”
“I love the city, “ said Ronda. “It’s so interesting. Look at that!”
Ronda pointed at a woman gluing some colored things onto the
base of a streetlamp.
“What is it?” asked Mara.
The woman heard her and smiled. “It’s a mosaic. I’m an artist
who works for the city to make public places more beautiful.” She
held up something that looked like a piece of a plate. It was red
with blue dots on it. “I recycle broken pieces of pottery,” said the
woman. “I glue them onto the streetlamp to make a design.”
The woman showed the girls the side she had finished. It looked
just like a big, colorful flower. It made Mara feel like her new
neighborhood could be full of surprises.
“You know,” Mara said, “Maybe this neighborhood isn’t so bad
after all. I wonder if there are any other interesting things going on
here.”

What is Mara’s problem? How does she solve it?
She does not like her new neighborhood; she solves it by
finding interesting art being made in her neighborhood.
What is the story’s theme?
Things are not always as bad as they seem; sometimes things
work out better if you are patient and look closely.
Let’s quickly revisit “Me and Uncle Romie.”
How are the artists in “Me and Uncle Romie” and “What Is
It?” similar?
Both artists use objects from the real world in their art; both
Uncle Romie and the woman helped a child feel like making
art, too.
How is the theme of “Me and Uncle Romie” similar to the
theme of “What Is It?”
The theme of both stories tells how art changes people’s
opinions of things.
Use Context Clues



You can often figure out the meaning
of unfamiliar words by looking for
clues.
There was an excess of information, or
too much to take in.
I can figure out the meaning of excess
by looking at the definition that follows
it: “too much to take in.”
Context Clues




We had to grapple with the problem by
working hard and trying many things to
solve it.
I want to know the meaning of grapple.
I will start by looking for clues about the
word. I don’t see a defintion, but I see the
words “working hard” and “trying many
things to solve it.”
These tell me that grapple involves working
hard and trying to solve things. A word for
‘hard work’ and ‘try many things to solve a
problem’ is grapple.
Context Clues


Juana demolished her science project
when she sat on it.
Based on the context clues, what does
demolished mean?
The cat prowled, or crept, around the
house looking for food.
Based on the context clues, what does
demolished mean?
