Contractions

didn’t What do you know about reading

this word? Didn’t is a contraction of the

words did and not. An apostrophe takes the place of

the letter o in not. Today we’ll learn about

contractions made from other words.

Contractions

we’re This word is a contraction, a short

way of saying and writing two words.

An apostrophe takes the place of letters that are left out.

You can read this word because you know the two words that make this contraction.

Contractions

we’re – we are The apostrophe in we’re takes

the place of the letter a in are. To read contractions, first read

the word before the apostrophe and then blend it with what comes after the apostrophe.

Compare and ContrastVisualize

Let’s compare the boys’ club and the girls’ club.

How would the story have been different if the boys had not decided to make their own club?

Compare and ContrastVisualize

Good readers compare and contrast what they read with what they already know.

Sometimes there are helpful clue words that help us compare and contrast, such as like, however, and but. Sometimes there aren’t any clue words.

Good readers picture, or visualize, what is happening in a story in their minds. Then we compare what we are reading with what we already know.

Pages 296-297

Context Clues

Sometimes we can get the meaning from word parts.

We may understand the base word and suffix (beautiful, full of beauty) or the two shorter words in a compound word (wildcat, a cat that’s wild).

We can look in a dictionary or glossary. We can look for context clues in the words

and sentences around the unknown word. Today we will learn more about context

clues.

Capital Letters

Special names for people, places, animals, and things are called proper nouns.

Names of countries are proper nouns. How do the names of countries begin? Mexico Italy United States
