Dear Word Watchers of the world,

I have started a new book called Swindle by Gordon Korman. It is a book for readers that love to live life to the fullest, are suspenseful and have a good spirit of adventure.

I like to use thinking strategies everywhere I go, especially when I am reading. One of the strategies I used was prediction. I predicted that Griffin would sell the Babe Ruth card because it was very expensive. I also predicted that S. Wendell Palomino tricked Griffin in to selling the baseball card for $120, when he could have sold it for a lot more money because Palomino did get paid very well.

            I used visualization for another strategy. I visualized the old Rockford house crumbling to the ground. I visualized the baseball card with its bright, blue, bolded edges and its slightly wrinkled corners.

            I hope you enjoyed my blog. Did you learn the lesson “Reading is thinking”? Read more and more and more and...

More!

            Ciao for now,

                                    KT
