​ Reading

__**About Me! **__ Hi I'm Cheryl This is my reading page and my favourite book is vampire knight. yes, it is a Manga. I started reading in year 4 and matilda is the first novel I ever read. i do like Matilda but this year I found out that i like Manga too. I always tried to read every night but sometimes I can't because I'm too tired or I got home too late. Most of the time I read on my bed or on the couch because both of those place is very comfy.

 __**What happened in your head as you read? **__ Huh? How did that happen? I don't get this. I have no idea what their talking about. Do these sentences come up in your head when you read? Well this is what I do when that happens. I will re read the page again and make sure that I'm really concentrating, maybe that doesn't work because there is too many distraction beside you, so you can go to a place that is quieter or write what you are thinking on a sticky note so you won't forget what you are reading.

 __**What are some strategies you use when meaning breaks down? **__

When meaning breaks down I will look the word up in a dictionary and make sure that I know what all the word means. If you really need it... Step 1- find the word that you don't understand. Step 2- look in a dictionary and find the word. Step 3- re read the sentence and you should understand it. __**Examples of strategy that works. **__ The strategy that really works for me is sticky notes and re reading. Sticky notes help me remember what I'm reading when I'm distracted so I don't have to read the whole page again. And re reading helps me because I might be reading too fast and not knowing what the words mean so if I re read I can read slowly and make sure that I know every word. When I'm reading Matilda in year 4 I asked someone what each word mean so I can understand the book, you con do that too.

__**Tips Section **__ I have learnt that reading is really fun and helpful too. Maybe you don't like reading now but if you just start reading you can't stop. From this term everytime i read i use sticky notes and i think it is really helpful. Everytime you read you are learning something new.
