*Sight Word Review (2 minutes)
*Picture Walk and Vocabulary Preview (2-3 minutes)
*Task at Hand- today we are going to be making connections (2 minutes)
*Students read quietly to themselves and teacher goes around the
table listening to each child read, students use sticky notes to respond to
questions (10-12 minutes)
*Word Work (2-3 minutes)

Each passage
has a set of questions that stimulate higher level
thinking, require students to search for text based evidence and other skills
the common core addresses. Sight words and word work patterns are also readily
available in each passage to pull and use! The kids LOVE the passages and
learning about different animals. I am able to print out multiple copies of
each passage and it saves me the time of seeking out multiple copies of books
for each of my groups. Note: I do not recommend ALWAYS using passages for
guided reading, authentic learning from books is ABSOLUTELY necessary but once
and a while, I think it’s good to mix things up!
