Part 1: Knowledge / Skill Instruction

Focus Instruction:

• Diagraphs and Blends

Present Information:

• I wrote out cards with words like small, clunk, chunk, skunk, frog, freeze, ect. I then cut them apart. Ex: frog à fr-og
• Abigail will need to connect the cards into words and then form her own sentence using the word.

Unassisted Performance:

After explaining this activity to Abigail, she will need to put the cards together on her own. I may help a bit on forming sentences but I want her to do it on her own.

During Reading:

• Listen and take notes.
• Have Abigail read independently.

Part 1: Knowledge / Skill Instruction

Focus Instruction:

Blends Practice

Present Information:

Activity: Beginning Blends Puzzle Cards

• Cards have to parts; one half has the two-letter beginning and the other card contains the rest of the word.
• I will have Abigail connect the cards then read the card and the sentences that go along with the card.
• The purpose of this activity is for Abigail to learn her blends.

Unassisted Performance:

After explaining the card game to Abigail I will run a quick practice child then let her loose to begin forming words.

Part 2: Guided Reading                        Book Title Candy, the old car            Level 13 

Before Reading:

• Run through the book on a picture walk.
• Identify: On page 9 there are the sounds, ch.. ch.. ch..
  • Abigail has trouble with sounds by themselves so I will go to this page for her to better understand during the reading.

During Reading:

• Let Abigail read independently, she seems to be on the verge of going up a level.
• Listen and take notes on any problems she is having.

After Reading:

 Ask questions about the reading

• Who are the two main characters?
  • Candy the old car and the red racing car
  • How do you think the red racing car felt when Candy won the race?
  • Can you tell me the story without looking back at the book?
  • What was your favorite part of the story?
    • My favorite part of the story was when Candy told the red racing car, “We will see.” This is my favorite part because I like that Candy was sure of himself and was not boastful. (explain what boastful means)

Part 3: Extension and Practice:

• Ask if she would like to do the Beginning Blends cards another time.
• If she does not want to practice with the cards, we will begin writing our own Halloween story.
  • I plan to write a part then have Abigail write a part.
  • This will help her to be more creative and will be a fun extra exercise throughout October.
