Mrs. Hartsock's reading class

Our shared reading story (that we started last week) was The Mysterious Giant of Barletta, written and illustrated by Tommie DePaola. Ask your child to summarize this folk tale about the actual city of Barletta. 
Skill work focused on questioning (asking questions as we read to clarify and increase comprehension). 

We have also started our novel unit, Little House on the Prairie.  To build our background knowledge about pioneers and the westward unit, we read books using TrueFlix online and read  . . . If You Traveled West In A Covered Wagon and identified interesting facts and created outlines.
