Reading

Review of sight words and story

-using the bones that I left, review the words with the class over
and over again for about five minutes. (we usually do many times of
class reading, then I pick individuals to read, then we do class readings
again where I hold the last one and the class guesses the held word)
-pair up the students quickly (doesnt really matter today and DO
NOT allow them to pick their own buddy) and have them read A Big
Fish for Max in their Reading Street book over and over again for
about 6 minutes. You need to partner read with Rafe. He struggles.
-Chart 7

Display the poem on the white board in the

gathering area. Have the class sit in their same partners with a white
board and pencil. Give each PAIR one sheet of paper and have them
copy the chart sh/th/ al sound chart onto their paper. (show your
sample that I left you)
Either read the poem outloud, or you can play the
CD of it sung for the class a couple of times. Afterwards, have the
partners QUIETLY find words within the poem that go in each column.
Weve done this activity a handful of times so they know the drill.
Share results together after about 5 minutes of searching.
