This is my week 3 writing.

Week Two - Tim's Costume.

Today I read “Tim’s Costume” by Eleanor Hughes.  It is about a boy called Tim.  He is thinking about a costume for the green party he has been invited to.  Sophie thought of a grasshopper.  But he got puffed from hopping around.  Mum thought of a tree, but the branches were too prickly.  He tried his dad’s green sleeping bag, but it was too hard to move around.  Tim thought and thought.  He looked around his room and suddenly he knew what he wanted to be.  A Alien.

This week I think my reading was better than last time because Whaea Gaylene said I was using expression well.  I didn’t know that meant you changed your voice.  I also feel like i’ve picked up on my reading.  It’s getting easier.  It helped that I listened to the whole story first.

READING SELF-ASSESSMENT - Week One, Term Two

This term I will be reading books from my reading journal. I will be using the read-write app to help me with words I don’t know. I will also be recording myself using either movenote or clyp.it to see where I can improve and whether I have reached my reading goals for the term.

Here is a copy of my first recording for this term. I think I need to work on using expression and changing my voice when people are talking in the story. I also need to work on reading smoothly. I feel that the read-write app will help me read difficult words better too.
