Chapter 7

At the beginning of this chapter the students read a poem that was really hard.  Two of the students reread the poem several times and looked up words they didn't know, one of them even drew a picture.  The third student just read the poem once and didn't understand it and that was it.  The teacher showed the third student what the other two did and she couldn't believe they did all that work to make the poem make sense.  If all the students who didn't understand knew the strategies other students used to make something make sense it would help them a lot.  This shows how important reading strategies are.
