What reading strategies? 
What were the most helpful strategies?
When I was reading this book some of the pictures helped me understand this book. This book was a diary so it didn't really help me with anything.
- The Book helped me because there are pictures talking about the same thing.

My Paragraph

Your’s Troolie Alice Toolie There’s a girl called Alice and a boy named Jimmy. Alice and Jimmy hate each other because when Alice went into the library she brought her diary with her and then she left her diary in the library and she accidentally left her diary in the library and when Jimmy went into the library and found Alicess diary and Jimmy read her diary.

Then the next day Jimmy didn't want to to tell Alice that he read her diary but she rang him and said do you know were my diary is and he said maybe but i'm very sorry for reading your diary then she was so angry and said to him well know you know all of my secrets so she said now i'm not talking to you forever now and she said give me my diary now. He gave her diary back And now he’s very sorry for reading her dairy.

I gave this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐stars because this book was entertaining but I don’t like how Jimmy doesn't put out images because the images make this book more fun.
 

'The Perfect Lawn'

Timothy Turner loved his lawn so much, that he was very mean when a ball landed on his lawn. Sometimes the neighbours thought he was mean and nasty. 

The next morning he looked out of his window and there were yellow patches on his lawn. He went straight in his car to go to the nursery. The nursery man gave Timothy some fertiliser but the fertiliser didn’t work. 

He went back to the nursery. The nursery man said “You might have to dig up some grass” Timothy said “ARE YOU SERIOUS,I'M NOT DOING THAT”. An old man came and said, "I have something that might help. I have a fertiliser".  The nursery man said “No, I’ve tried it before and killed my plant”.

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES Petal To The Metal

Paragraph 1

This book is called Plants vs Zombies petal to the metal. It is really funny and Entertaining. It was illustrated by Ron Chan. It is in the Plants vs Zombies 2013 Series. 

Paragraph 2

The characters in the story are Zomboss is the boss and the smartest zombie, Crazy Dave is the craziest character in the story, Nate the hungriest person in the game and Patrisher is the Girl  who is the niece of crazy Dave. In this story zombies and plants race because the loser has to leave neighborville. The problem was that when the plants were in lead the zombies back at neighborville attacking. I think this theme is comedy because it is really funny.

Paragraph 3 

When reading this book most of the words were pretty easy to say. But some of them were not easy to read. With those hard words I used to sound it out and I also broke them to bits so read the letters in the word. I Was also able to reread sentences in the book.

Paragraph 4

I liked the part when they were racing for who leaves neighborville. In this book I would change some of the zombies' faces because it looks kinda creepy. I liked this book because it reminds me of the plants vs zombie games I used to play. If I were to recommend this book I would give it a ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆.I recon Years 2-6 would like this book.

 

Rugby League Reads

 This book is about rugby league and what the teams and the players and where it was found. Hopefully you will like it this is by Curtis Naylor.

intro

There are sixteen teams in the NRL footy. As ten Sydney teams, one New Zealand team, one Melbourne, four Queensland teams and one Canberra team. Sounds like a lot of teams doesn't it? I  wonder who you support in the NRL?

First  Paragraph

 Where was rugby league found?

The word NRL stands for national rugby league. It was found in England l868 then around some parts of the world. The first Australia rugby league match was in Melbourne back in the 1800’s. Rugby league was invented in Northern England 1895. As New Holland [aka Australia N.S.W before it was discovered by captain cook.] In 1908 eight rugby league teams in the NRL came: Sydney Roosters, South Sydney,Balmain Tigers,Eastern suburbs,Sydney city which is part of the Sydney Roosters. Western suburbs magpies,Newtown jets and North sydney bears. Sport takes a part of history to its why to this day we will always pay respect in past, present and future.

 

2 paragraph  Being part of life 

Sport is about having a healthy life. Problems sometimes happen in footy like injuries or trying to make it to the finals footy or your retirement.1908 things that people didn’t know lots about. Remember 2020 from January to June and July was coming out of covid-19 lockdown, but now it's starting to ease down for Australia. But problems were rising for some like Jake's friend retired by getting hit hard.My problem is when l play footy l don’t want to have an injury and stop playing footy because when l grow up l want to play for Coogee dolphins A- grade and the A- reserve. And the NRL teams. The players are getting even more people injured to this day. Hopefully they won’t have to retire. 

3 paragraph 

Some of the strategies l use while reading the text was …

1. Look all of the information in the text

2. Put it into a story in your own writing

3. Read the text over and over again 

4. Reading part of the text was hard

5. That was a good text but l loved to read it again

4Paragraph

What l loved about the book is that the NRL [rugby league]  is my favourite sport that l love playing and reading. The best thing l  love reading about this book is that it was interesting reading the book about footy players and the team and what about and when they came from.

what  would l change about the book is that they should get new players about them but get more information about the players. I do like the book because when people grow up and they are 18 they can get some information about footy and the rules about. l give this book 7 and 8 out of 10.
