LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE

Tutor: Kenna Turner

Reading Level: Lesson #: 3

EVALUATION/REFLECTION FROM LAST LESSON [What did you learn from last
weeks session? Provide details and examples. How is what you learned informing your
planning for this week? What did you learn about yourself as a teacher?]
Last weeks session taught me a lot of what I learned in the previous week. I only set 5 pages to
be read this week and we didnt get through all of them. Some of the words in the text are
difficult for him to read, so if I focus on providing him help in sounding those out, we can get
through the pages that are meant to be read. This week I plan on helping him read the chapter. I
learned that all kids read at different levels and we need to respect and accommodate these
levels.
