During Reading-
Possible Teaching Points During Reading (Choose 1 or 2-Monitoring, Decoding, Fluency, or Retell):
Today we are going to work on comprehension monitoring. If you are reading a sentence and it doesnt
make sense I want you to go back and read it again to try to find your mistake. Say I am reading the
sentence, Jimmy took a wall to the park. That doesnt make sense so I would go back and read it
again Jimmy took a walk to the park. I want you to make sure that you are using this strategy while
you are reading.

List prompts you will say to support students with teaching points:
Does that make sense?
Go back and read that again.
Did you hear the mistake in that?

Teaching Points After Reading (Choose 1 or 2-Monitoring, Decoding):

Strategy: Chunk big words

Explanation: You chunk the word into smaller parts. Such as the word dinosaur you break it into di-no-
saur.

Lets try this with some words:

Disobedient
Communication
Immediately
Calculator
Misunderstanding
Temperature
Material
Usually
Remember
Measure
Several
Government
Finally
Minutes
Building
Language
Thousands

Discussion Question: Can you tell me what the article was about?

Word Study

Strategy: Writing Big Words

Explanation of Procedure: I am going to give you some words to write. Lets try.

Words:
Freeze
Fishermen
Drill
 Water
Fishing
Supplies

Reflection:
1) What went well with your lesson?
Student could read the article and use the comprehension monitoring technique. He
knew how to spell all but one of the words that I gave him.

2) What changes would you make if you could?

I would have some words pre-chunked for him to practice with. I would have more words
for him to spell.

3) What information did you learn about your students? (Assess them against your
Learning Targets, Provide Specific Examples)
I learned that he will not work if he is not in the mood no matter how hard you try. He
gets defiant and will try to do things wrong.

4) How will this information inform your next lesson?

I will try to be more encouraging and motivating towards Student. I will let him pick the
order of things to give him a little bit more control in what we are doing.
