🤖📚 THE WILD ROBOT: DAY 2! 🌲🏝️

We’re moving on to Day 2 of our One Book, One School adventure! Today, we will read Chapters 6–11 of The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. 💙📖

Before you begin reading, let’s get our thinking caps on! 🧠✨

🔎 BEFORE YOU READ:
👥 Who have we met?
Make a list of the characters we have seen so far.

🏝️ What is the setting?
Where is Roz’s story taking place? What details has the author given us?

📖 Word Detectives!
Did you come across any unfamiliar words? Write them down and look up their meanings together. Can you use each new word in a sentence?

🤔 PREDICT!
At the end of Chapter 5, Roz begins climbing up the sea cliffs. What do you think will happen next on Roz’s journey? Make a prediction before reading Chapters 6–11!

🌟 Remember: Good readers don’t just read the words—they think, wonder, question, and predict!

So find your cozy reading spot, snuggle up with your family, and let’s continue our adventure with Roz! 🤖💙📚
