It's the much anticipated 1st day of guided reading and I'm already blown away! California is my lowest guided reading group and we were reading a level G book called "Rex Runs Away" about...you guessed it, a run away dog! Even though it was a simple text, Tremayne asked some very good questions and the answers that they had really reflected good comprehension of the text.
Tremayne's questions:
1. Why did Rex get a bone for running away? --> great critical thinking, he's evaluating Rex's actions and thinking about how they don't merit a reward. Demarrion did some nice thinking about Rex's character trait of being friendly and how that made people want to be nice to him
2. Why did Rex run away? (Tynajah also asked this question) --> probably the big question of the book. Demarrion and Tremayne both thought it was because he wanted to get food. This was a solid inference because they noticed that all the places Rex stopped were food places. Tynajah thought it was because he wanted the boy to chase after him
3. Why did he dig a whole? --> not a super-deep question, obviously to escape.
Interesting to note that he asked 3 analyzing questions, probably reflects a good understanding of the book.
