Phonics and Spelling A suffix is added to the end of a word. Recognizing suffixes in words can help readers pronounce and understand words. Read the information and review the chart on Student Edition page 352. Notice how the chart is organized. As I read the suffix –able in the chart, I see that it means “capable of.” when –able is added to the word value, the new word is valuable. Value means “how much something is worth.” Valuable means “capable of worth” or “worth a lot.” Let’s review the other suffixes in the chart. Spellings often change when suffixes are added. Notice how the final e in value is dropped when –able is added, and how y in mystery is changed to I when –ous is added. Let’s complete the chart with the underlined words on page 353. First, divide the word into its root word and suffix. Next, identify the meaning of the root word. Then identify the meaning of the suffix.
Spelling Pretest 1. doable 2. famous 3 careless 4. various 5. endless 6. reliable 7. nervous 8. useless 9. flexible 10. washable 11. helpless 12. terrible 13. valuable 14. dangerous 15. powerless
Make PredictionsComprehension • As they read, good readers make predictions about what may happen in a story. Prior knowledge—what someone already knows about a topic or situation—helps readers make predictions. • Making and checking predictions helps readers keep track of what is happening in a story. • Listen as I read aloud page 304 of “Charlotte’s Web.” • As I read, if I find out that Wilbur wants to make a spider web. I already know that Wilbur is a pig, and I also know that pigs cannot make spider webs. So, I predict that Wilbur will not be able to make a web. I will read on to see if I am correct. • Use clues from “Charlotte’s Web” and your own knowledge to make and write more predictions about the characters in the test of the story.

Grammar: Contractions • A contraction is two or more words shortened into one. When you make a contraction you drop a letter or letters and use an apostrophe instead. • Do not = don’t • I would = I’d

Writing: Description • “Happy ‘Holi’ Day!” is a description of an event. • Descriptions… • Include a topic sentence • Tell what is being described • Use details to show what made the even exciting or memorable
Student Model: Description “Happy ‘Holi’ Day!” Holi is a big festival in India to celebrate the beginning of spring. Last spring, I went to India for the first time to visit my cousins and to celebrate Holi. I had not participated in Holi before. I found out that everyone in the community joins in, and the celebration lasts several days. When we arrived at my cousins’ hometown, everyone was already dancing and singing. My favorite day of Holi, though, was the carnival of colors. That day, we all went outside and put colored powder on each other. In no time at all, we looked like a human rainbow. The powders were made of herbs that smelled nice. That made it even better. Then, someone began to throw colored water! We filled water balloons and used special sprinklers to get each other wet with color. We shouted, “Bura Na Mano…Holi Hai!” which means, “Don’t be mad…it’s Holi!” Celebrating Holi with my cousins was the best holiday I ever had. I am going to celebrate it next spring—right in my own backyard. As my cousins said, “Holi is for everyone!”
