Good readers remind Show children that when readers get themselves what the stuck on a tricky part, they stop and book is about as they ask: what is this book about? read. Show students why stopping and asking this question at tricky parts will help them figure out the tricky part Recognize a few easy high-frequency words quickly (e.g., the, and, my, like, see, is, can, in, it) Recognize and make a few CVC words (e.g., hit, cut, man, dog, pet) Write a few CVC words (e.g., run, cat, pet) Write a few easy high frequency words (e.g., can, like, the, me, we, is) Match or sort pictures by initial sounds (bear, bike, bone)

SWBAT remember what the story is about during reading

Good readers stop at different parts of the book and ask: what just happened?

SWBAT use picture details to figure out the meaning of new words SWBAT use pictures to make predictions and then use text to check those predictions.

When good readers get stuck on a hard word, they look at the picture to help them figure it out. Good readers Have students preview the book by check to see if flipping through the pages and looking their predictions at the pictures are right by Encourage students to use the thinking about pictures to make predictions about what they have just what the story will be about read. While reading, have students use text from the story to check the accuracy of their predictions

Have students read a book and highlight the words they recognize right away Another way to frame it: Before you read this page, run your eyes over the words and see if any of them are your sight words. Point to those and read them first. Give students copies of familiar poems with sight words highlighted; use nursery rhymes; make flashcards on a book ring *Place post-it notes at key points of the book and then ask students to tell them what just happened. Write out their ideas on chart paper. *Afterward, have students write (in 1 sentence) or draw out what they think just happened in the story on post it notes that youve placed throughout their own copies of the book Sample Think Aloud/Modeling from an Expert Teachers Elementary Classroom

Now put the sounds together. Attention to word endings (s and ed) Match pictures with letters using beginning or ending sounds Recognize a few easy high-frequency words quickly (e.g., the, and, like, here, look, see, is, can, in, it) Make several CVC words quickly (can, but, cat, hot, get) Recognize several CVC words (e.g., get, sun, mat, not) Locate words rapidly using first letter and related sounds Say words slowly and write letters related to sounds
