Reading Next week we will be reading two selections. The first one is Little Grunt and the Big Egg, and is fantasy. It is about a boy who finds the biggest egg he has ever seen. The second one is Mighty Dinosaurs, and is nonfiction. Students will discover facts about dinosaurs that lived on earth millions of years ago. We will focus on the comprehension strategies cause and effect, and compare and contrast.
