Robot Cat and Synthesizing

Today we read Robot Cat from our Literacy by Design curriculum.  It is our book that goes with this theme.  We are working on reading fluently with good expression and rate.  We took turns reading with a partner who is not our desk partner. 

After we read we talked about a good summary.  To help us summarize, we used the frame "Somebody, wanted, but, so, then" to help us think through the story.  Each element represents a story element.  For example, the "Somebody"  represents the characters.  We came up with a great summary of the story.  Practice this with your child after they read a book or even a chapter in a book.
