小豬 （ G3)

小豬今年的進步在於自信，我很明顯的感受到她對自己的自信心比以前好很多，不是在縮在團體後的那一位小豬。

Reading：

小豬很愛看書，她一直在「範圍」裡，就是平凡，不過她從以前看書的種類就很多元，是她讓我知道科學生物類的書是好看跟有趣的，所以我家因為她也買了不少類似的二手書。這次她的進步很大，上學期她的Reading Level是 M，這一次是R。去年的老師就有提過往上的Reading Level要進一階比較難，這次她一口氣跳了那麼多，她自己也覺得很滿意。我真的很感謝去年的老師讓我知道怎麼帶領她閱讀，她介紹了很多作者跟書給我們，突然間好像開了一扇窗，讓小孩找到自己應該走的路。

Readers at Level R:
At Level R, readers automatically read and understand a full range of genres, including biographies on less well-known subjects, more complex fantasy, and hybrid genres. They read both chapter books and shorter informational texts. Also, they read special forms such as mysteries, series books, and books with sequels, short stories, diaries, and logs. Fiction narratives are straightforward but have elaborate plots and many complex characters who develop and change over time. As readers, they understand perspectives different from their own as well as settings and people far distant in time and space. They can process sentences (some with more than fifteen words) that are complex, contain prepositional phrases, introductory clauses, lists of nouns, verbs, or adjectives, and they solve new vocabulary words, some defined in the text and others unexplained. Most reading is silent, but fluency and phrasing in oral reading are well established. Readers are challenged by many longer descriptive words and by content specific and technical words that require using embedded definitions, background knowledge, and readers' tools, such as glossaries. They can take apart multi-syllable words and use a full range of word-solving skills. They read and understand texts in a variety of layouts as well as fonts and print characteristics and consistently search for information in illustrations and increasingly complex graphics.

小豬也是每天會閱讀，老師規定是20分鐘，不過她從來都沒有只讀20分鐘，每天讀最少一本Chapter Book。有空她會看很多，有時候我也安慰自己她近視真的是正常的，這種增加的速度我真的要感恩，因為真的看很多。以前感覺只是愛看書的小孩，現在隨著她慢慢長大，很多常識她也因為書而知道，當你談到不同的話題，她都可以講出一些她所知道的部份，感覺好棒，我一直覺得把學校的東西學完學好，只是完成了那部份的責任，學習不能只限縮在學校裡，我覺得從小豬身上，我看到了成果。

中文閱讀： 

小豬每天中文也是閱讀20分鐘，不管是故事書、繪本還是科學類的，重點是要 ： 有注音。她還是不能脫離有注音的階段，不過這一點上我還蠻看得開，能看比較重要，久了就可以。不過今年她的進步是在可以看一些中文的科學跟歷史類的書，白一點就是非故事類的，這幾個月開始我也多訂了國語日報回家，雖然沒有辦法做到每天讀報，不過我想慢慢應該會可以。 

小豬下學期開始成績突然間見到進步，好像有點開竅，知道自己在做什麼，或是平常在看的書，開始發現可以運用，我其實也不太清楚，感覺有點長大，有點不一樣。三年級期末的頒獎禮，除了往常的「分豬肉」獎以外，還有三個特別的獎，其中小豬今年有拿到Superintendent Award 是在NWEA三科考試中兩科在平均90% 以上會得到，從即將退休的總校長Dr. Farell手上拿到，我覺得蠻有意思的。
