How I am going

I use the picture to help work out new words			Kerri thinks

I can race the pen (read quickly)			Kerri thinks

I can make my reading sound like talkig			Kerri thinks

Reflection

Getting my mouth ready for the first sound helps me because: I know the word

It was really hard when: I have to read like talking

Something that really helped me was: playing race the pen with Julie

Race the pen has helped you to read fast and your reading is really starting to sound like talking! It is tricky when you don't know the words so using the pictures and getting your mouth ready for the first sound helps you to work them out. When you keep on practising and read your stories lots of times, your reading is more fluent (it sounds like talking).
