I am currently reading Magnus chase and the sword of summer. A reading strategy I use is that I read out loud when I don't get the sentence or paragraph. The genre is fantasy and a part of the novel that I enjoyed was when Magnus Chase was fighting a giant called Surt.

I finished my book right today, so I don't have any book I currently reading. But the book I enjoyed was my book commercial book! The genre of my book is adventurous mystery, and I used 'Reread' strategy so that I can understand what is going on. The best part of my book commercial book(I'll tell you title tomorrow because tomorrow is my book commercial day^^) is definitly when Smudge the character was almost drown and die but fortunely he became rescued and still alive!

I just finished my book called the halloween party by RL STINE the genre of my book is mystery and my favourite part of the book is when the halloween party starts and the lights suddenly go out and everyone at the party starts screaming and all of the sudden they realize that one of the guest are missing!!!!!! My strategy that I use is reread because it helps me understand what is happening in the story.

I am currently reading "When You Wish Upon A Rat". The genre is Realistic Fiction. I used the "Reread" strategy to help me understand the book. A good part of the book is when the main character, Ruth, gets a stuffed rat from her favourite (and according to her, the only normal) aunt. Ruth has a busy, crazy family, so when the rat comes to life and changes Ruth's "story", the first thing he does is change them. It's a kind of sad book but it's really funny.

the book that I'm currently reading is called Since you've been gone. the genre is realistic fiction. My favorite part was when Emily ( the main character) gets a list of 13 crazy things to do.( including dance in till dawn and kiss a stranger) The list came from her best friend who just vanished at the beginning of summer and Emily has no idea where she is. The reading strategy I mostly use is rereading because it helps me look back into the texted for information that I might have missed.

The novel I'm currently reading is Is it Night or Day? A reading stardegy for me is rereading a lot! I have to do this because some of the sentences are in German and then they translate it to English so sometimes I have to re read the sentence so I can make sense of it. The genre of my book is Historical Fiction (which I am loving because I don't usually read historical fiction). I don't exactly have a favourite part because I'm still reading the book but my favourite part so far is when the main character Edith is on a boat escaping from Hitler and the Nazis away from her parents because they don't have enough money to leave. The boat is taking Edith to America.

I just finished my book this morning. Matilda by:Roald Dahl. A reading strategy that I use when I don't understand a word/sentence is reading it slower and reading it again several times before I understand what I'm reading. I enjoyed reading about the strange things that happen at Matilda's school or during class. See you tomorrow everybody!👌

The book I'm reading right now is called The Underneath. I have used my background knowledge when there where words that I had to think about the meaning. I think the genre is realistic fiction. My favourite part of the novel is when two kittens name Puck and Sabine learn to hunt for food in the shelter of a porch they call the Underneath. They live in the Underneath with their mama and a hound named Ranger.

I am reading a book called "Chasing Yesterday betrayal book 2". The strategy that I am using is to depict important occasions. I also attempted to guess about the future events. The genre is mysterious adventure. I enjoyed the part when J.D. and J.D.'s best friend named Daniel were escaping from a Dr.Styron. Now they are stealing food and other things that are necessary for them.

Recently I have read the book The Lost Boy, I usually have re read or slowed down to understand more of the contexts. I have also seen different books close to the same concept. The book is a Mystery and Fantasy and has a epic plot twists. One part I have really enjoyed is finding out who the Verseptine is. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who enjoys any plot changes or crazy events!!! I'm starting to get back to Hatchet because I haven't been reading it. see you all tomorrow. :D

I'm currently reading a book called "Are you there god, its me Margret". One of the strategies that I've been using is re-reading a lot of things! I also have to slow down often to understand what I'm reading. I'm not sure what the genre of my book is because I just started reading this book yesterday. One part of the novel that I enjoyed was when She moved out side f New York and her Grandma came to visit her and her family without them even knowing!

I am currently ready a book called "Karma Bites" One of the reading strategies I've been using are, re-reading small parts, reading ahead because my book had lots of words that don't make sense so I need to read ahead to understand the word more! The genre of my book is Fantasy! I'm really proud of myself for ready a Fantasy novel because I didn't read any last year and Fantasy books are very large and I'm almost done! EEEEEEK SO EXCITING!!!! One of my favourite parts of the novel is when Franny first finds out that her grandma that has currently just moved in to her basement has magical recipes that can fix anything you need fixed!
