"Have you ever heard any rumours which make you afraid?" The story "The Summer the Sun Did Not Blow Up" was written by Birnati Lakhan. This story is about the children who afraid of the rumour, showers of sun and glowing splinter would fall during Christmas holidays, that spread among them. The children talked how to escape from it and finally their parents figured it out that the thing that their children afraid was just a rumour. The rumour was getting more serious when the story went from mouth and mouth the time changed from "millions of ears" to "next month". I leaned that the rumour will be changed if it pass mouth to mouth many time.
I used three reading strategies called "Before I read, I look over the text to see things like pictures, charts, maps, how long it is and how it is organized.", "I read slowly and carefully to make sure I understand what I am reading.", and "I underline or circle information or ideas in the text to help me remember it." I used these three strategies and knew the theme of this story. For example, "The rumour was getting out of hand","The story went from mouth and mouth the time changed from "millions of ears" to "next month"." I agree that rumour can be changed easily and it makes people scared, so we have to be careful to talk something to the others. It's easy to fool people, especially children.
I like to use these three strategies especially "I read slowly and carefully to make sure I understand what I am reading." let me to be able to have deeper understanding of the story. "I underline or circle information or ideas in the text to help me remember it." did not work well for me because I underlined most of the passages. I want to still use "I read slowly and carefully to make sure I understand what I am reading." because it will help me to understand the story more deeply.

You said the reading strategy of underlining did not work for you as you underlined most of the words. Before you underline, think about what you want to underline. Perhaps you want to remember something a character said. Perhaps it's a word you don't know that you will look up later. Or perhaps it's the main idea.
