Focus Skill: Narrative Elements (Setting)- The time and place in which
a story takes places is called the setting. Recognizing the setting helps
readers understand what is happening and helps them predict what
might happen later in the story.
Reading Strategy: Self correct- Sometimes a word may not make sense
the first it is read in a sentence, or the letters may not match the way the
word is read. When this happens you can self-correct by looking
carefully at the word and rereading it.
