I'd played the piano for an hour he was well prepared for the concert
Hey, mommy, I'm Andy didn't he help uh, we taught us reading class today. Oh, oh this is pretty much
Really? How come? Well, Mrs. Duros is away. We learn all about using pronouns, you know words to stand for other words
Like here. We have to figure out a word from the list to stand for underlined words
Mary, Sandy and Rose are sisters
Blank have blonde hair
He no way
she
It's this isn't it because there's more than one
Mm-hmm. It's the word it on your list of pronouns
Because you'd better look at the ring with me because it was gone
I finished my mom just in time
My children make haste to the land of Mosheust
For Zul has concocted yet another plan to read the universe of readers. You must stop them
Mm
Well, it's a tough job, but somebody's back to do it. Let's go
Mm
Thunder and lightning trumpets and drums readers rejoice a story Lord comes
Mm-hmm
It worked what worked my dad said you'd show up dad surprise
Mm-hmm

Think we'd better be going to you aren't going anywhere
Hey, I can't move
Nor shall you be able to unless your sister can answer a little question
I have for her milk breath. Yes your badness guard the door
My dear do it, Mandy. It's the only chance we've got
What am I supposed to do simply read what you see on the screen
Tim asked player to go to the show with him. He bought a candy bar and some pop
Larry's mom was mad at him for spending money on such a junk food. Okay, let my brother go not so fast
My little munchkin look at the screen again
If you want to see your brother free tell me who bought the pop in the candy bar be careful it might be a trick question
Trick question me
Me
Well, all I can say is it's lucky. Yeah, and this is famous was reading class today. This is who?
Very much. She taught us a reading class today
I'm going to teach you something a little bit new today and then after we learn it
We're going to practice it in your books
So pay good attention and see if you can figure out what it is that we're going to be doing. All right
When people write they sometimes use words that stand for other words
For example, look at these two sentences up on the board. Who can read these two sentences for us?
Ryan
Sally is my best friend. She lives next door
Good now. Let's look at the first sentence
Who can find the word Sally in the first sentence Carrie?
Sally is the first word in the first sentence. That's right
Now, let's look at the second sentence who can find the word she in the second sentence
Mandy yes, she is the first word in the second sentence
She and Sally are the same person
She
stands for Sally
She means Sally
Now I'm going to read these two sentences again and this time I'm going to use the word Sally in both sentences
Sally is my best friend
Sally lives next door
The second sentence means the same thing doesn't it? Whether I use the word she or the word Sally
This is an example of what we're going to learn about today
How one word can stand for another?
If you want to be a good reader, this is very important to know
Because writers often use two different words to mean the same thing
If you don't know which words go together, you can get mixed up when you read
But if you can figure out which words go together that will help you understand what you read
By the time we finish our lesson
You should be able to figure out what
He
She
It
We
You
And they stand for
We call these words pronouns
Now let's take a look at the sentences on this side of the board
Who can read the sentences after the number one?
Mandy
Mother baked a pie. It was good. Good Mandy
Can you tell me Mandy? What was good the pie the pie and which word in the second sentence?
stands for the word pie
It that's right the word it
Stands for the word pie in the second sentence
In each of these pairs of sentences I
Have underlined a word in the second sentence that stands for a word in the sentence that comes before it
Let's take a look at the sentences after the number two who can read those
Jim
Mark left school early. He was feeling now
Good
Who was feeling ill?
Mark was that's right. And what word in the second sentence stands for
Mark
He that's right. Good
Mark is a boy and the word he tells us that we're talking about a boy
He
Stands for the word mark
Let's go on to the third set of sentences
Who can read those for us?
Ryan
Come to the store with me said Pam. No said Brian. You go by yourself
Good. Can you tell us?
Who did Brian tell to go to the store without him?
Pam that's right and which word in the second sentence stands for the word Pam
You you that's right Brian was talking to Pam. So he used the word you
Instead of her name
you
Stands for the word Pam
When you read
Make sure that you look for these words
he
she
it
we
you and
they
And make sure that you know what they stand for before you continue reading
Mandy
What if you can't figure out what the word stands for?
That's a good question Mandy if you can't find out what the word stands for in an earlier sentence then continue reading
You might find a clue in the next sentence
When you find a clue go back and read the whole passage over
Try out the word in place of the pronoun
Make sure that it makes sense and that you understand it
That's one of the ways you'll help yourself become a better reader
Now let's practice what we just learned open your books page 43
Oh
So that's why I'm glad because thanks to Mrs. Framish you're going to lose just remember
That if you get it wrong your brother will be a permanent statue in my collection
Take your time Mandy be careful silence
You have 30 seconds begin
Oh
Tim asked Larry to go to the show with him. He bought a candy bar and some pop Larry's mom was mad at him for spending money on such junk food
About the candy bar and the pop hmm. Well, it could be Tim
Is that your answer don't rush me and just learn this today, you know
If it does stand for Tim then it could read Tim asked Larry to go to the show with him
Tim bought a candy bar and some pop Larry's mom was mad at him for
Hey, wait a minute. Why would Larry's mom be mad at Tim? That doesn't make sense
Ten seconds to go
Well it must stand for Larry
Tim asked Larry to go to the show with him
Larry bought a candy bar and some pop Larry's mom was mad at him for spending money on such junk food
Makes sense
Time's up
He stands for Larry Larry bought the pack in the candy bar
Oh, you remember to read on and see if your first guest made sense
Told you you're going to lose
Oh
Way to go Mandy don't thank me. Thank mrs. Framish. I sure will come out
