Her friend was being mean.
She said stop it.
She said stick to your own group and be nice to her.
Yes, I will said Susan. I like her.
I won't give up my friendship.

RG Just be friends.

Susan said you need to be nice.
If you don't be quiet I will tell the lunch lady.
She went to sit at a different table to eat.

Reading Tips

"Once you learn to read you will be forever free." Fredrick Douglas

"The more you read, the better you get.
The better you get, the more you like it.
The more you like it, the more you read."

* Read aloud to your child every day. (NO matter how old they are.)
* See that he/she has a bed lamp and interesting materials to read nearby in a basket, or box.
* When having a child read to you, wait for the reader to try a new or challenging word.
* Praise the reader for using pictures, noticing mistakes, rereading and fixing mistakes.

When a reader is struggling, wait for the reader to try, then suggest one of the following:

* Read with your finger.
* Look at the picture.
* "Get your mouth ready for the first sound. How does the word start?"
* Ask "Does the word make sense?
Does it look right?
Can you find part of the word you know?
* Sometimes it is easier to start over from the beginning of the sentence.
* Skip the word and read to the end to find a clue.
