Teaching Point:
|
Readers
match their speed to the meaning of the text.
|
What Needs Work:
|
slowing
down oral reading
|
Small Group Lesson:
|
·
Model
oral reading where the speed of your voice changes. (I used the book Roller Coaster by Marla Frazee)
·
Ask
students, “What do you notice about my reading?”
·
Discuss
that good reading isn’t always just fast.
·
Read
a few more pages of the book and have students show what speed you should
read using their thumbs (thumbs up = fast, thumb to the side = medium, thumb
down = slow)
·
Discuss
that most reading should be medium speed.
·
Practice
reading different speeds with just-right books. Have students whisper read aloud and show their speed with their
thumbs.

Readers match their speed to the meaning of the text.
Readers use evidence in the text to support their thinking about characters.
Teaching Point:
|
Readers
use evidence in the text to support their thinking about characters.
|
What Needs Work:
|
finding
evidence in text to support thinking
|
Small Group Lesson:

·
Use
Frog and Toad to model an example of finding evidence in the text about
character. For example: I know that Frog is a good friend because
he ran after Toad’s list when the wind blew it away. The list was important to Toad so Frog
tried to get it back for him.
·
Do
another example together from Frog and Toad.
·
Use
‘Thinking about Characters’ sheet and just-right books to identify a
character trait and supporting evidence.
