You will be asked to share those words during our next guided reading meeting. | I couldn’t see what was wrong with what I was wearing the grungy old track pants I go running in, and a T-shirt I’d found under my bed. It was so tidy I felt like I was caught in time warp and we were back in the days when mum still lived at home. Her voice was soft with a little kind of Husky catch in it, as though she needed to clear her throat. | |
| Selection Director: Ilaisaane Pick the most interesting part to read to your group during our next guided reading meeting. | There is someone I really want you to meet,’ said the dad.’ Someone who has become important to me over the past few months..... Someone I hope you will like, and I know will like you.’ I picked this art because it doesn’t seem that josh appears in his dad’s important life. | |

Use the chart that guides you through summarizing. | Dad told josh while they were camping if he could meet somebody, one of dad’s friends asked if josh could join them for a drink.
