閱讀理解：比較和對比

All animal lovers are welcome to this one time class!  We will begin our small group lesson with time to share about the pets we know and love in our lives.  We will review short vowel sounds A and O using the words "cat" and "dog" for support.  We will enjoy reading Bad Dog by Mike Boldt together and identify the words with short vowels in the text.  While reading, we will stop to compare and contrast the typical behavior of cats and dogs while making connections to the pets we know.  Last, we will use our knowledge of "cat" and "dog" to play a word game and build fluency with short vowel words.  Students should have letter sound knowledge of most letters and beginning writing skills to fully engage in the class.
