My buddy is a strong reader and writer. I learned that my buddy loves to read fantasy and non-fiction books. She loves to read books about wolves and even writes her own fantasy stories about them. She told me that she even acts out as wolves with her friends during recess. I was amazed by her love of wolves.
On the 4th grade level reading passage of “Amelia Earhart,” she answered 7 out of 8 questions correctly. Her comprehension skill was strong, being able to answer almost all of the questions accurately and in detail except for the tricky one we talked about in class. I think she was over thinking the question. Her retelling of the story was excellent with great use of the vocabulary words such as "adventurer" and "pioneer."
Taking all of these into consideration, I feel that my buddy can move to the next level reading. I think reading strategies (punctuation and fluency) can help her with her reading fluency, although she did great reading “Amelia Earhart” without any trouble.
