Lesson 5: Bud, Not Buddy

Find one word from the text that you can’t understand. Write the word. Use context clues to guess the meaning and write your guess down. Check the definition in a dictionary. Put a check next to the definition if you are correct. Fix the definition if you need to add more or change it. Reread the sentence from the book that has the word in it. Write the word in a new sentence.

Think about everything we have learned about Bud so far. Think about how he has reacted to each situation he has faced. What do you think Bud is going to do? Use facts and details to make a reasonable guess. Then provide reasons for your prediction.
