It is apparent that the child reading out
Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s dairy is a confident reader however towards the
end of the story; the reading of the child becomes separated. On the last page
of the book, the child mis-pronounces ‘trotted’ with a ‘sh’ sounding like ‘shtrotted’
which clearly makes no sense. Looking at the lineation of the book, the word ‘shop’
is underneath ‘trotted’ which could mean that the child’s eyes looked at the
line underneath therefore causing this sound before realising it was the wrong
line.
Good observation. Mention hat this is the sign of someone reading for meaning - when they repair because they are reading ahead and they realise that what they are reading doesn't make sense. Her eyes and mind would usually be ahead of her voice but the line shift meant a delay: the time it took her eyes to move down to the next line meant that she was reading and vocalising at the same time but it only took the time to pronounce one phoneme to check. Perhaps her familiarity with the book helped her or perhaps the word blatantly would not fit the sentence (I can't see what the words are from this comment box). Try and talk about these kinds of factors.
