Ask them about the characters and how the author uses rich language to make the stories come alive! There will be a vocabulary quiz on Friday 11/21. Your child might want to create flash cards with the word on one side and the definition on the other side to help them study for the quiz. They will also be tested on synonyms and antonyms of those words which they have worked with last week.
