I am reading the book, "Wonder" and I found the word, "slat." I found the word on page 220 and in the sentence, " I taped the slats back on to the broken sled." Using the clues "broken, sled, and taped" I realized the words means pieces of wood. So a slat is a piece of wood.

I am reading,"Holes" and my word is jurisdiction. I found it on pg. 219 and in the sentence,"He is no longer under your jurisdiction." The word means control. I found the meaning from the words no longer, and under.

In my book "Because of Anya" my unknown word is MOANED. I found it on page 94. the sentence it was in was"She never moaned". I think means complained. 1 sentence in the text that shows the meaning is
"Oh,this is going to rip out whatever hair you have left".

I'm reading the book "Holes". My word is jurisdiction. It's on page 218. The sentence is,"He is no longer under your jurisdiction!" I think it means"You no longer own him." Because the next sentence says "He has not been officially released!!!" So it means no longer under someones control. Good to know.

_{I'm reading "Because of Anya" I found the word "alopecia areata" I found it on page 70 it's a disease that makes you allergic to your hair and also makes your hair fall out. Words around alopecia areata was that it wasn't deadly or contagious. But cancer is deadly so that means alopecia areata isn't any of those so i started thinking of realistic thing that it could be.}
