• independent reading-students select and
read previously read books from their bag
• oral, whispered or silent reading (not choral)
• teacher assesses one student each day by
taking a running record while other students
read their familiar books
Running Records
•
•
•
•
yesterday's new book
no more than 100 words
one student tests per day, per group in K-2
other students are reading familiar books

* in-depth Running Record training will take
place on campus as needed...

Blending ( CVC, CCVC, CVCC, CVCe)
Say words slowly and write letters related to

• Plurals—s, -es
• Compound words-put together and take apart
• Read and take apart words with digraphs
• Add inflectional endings (-ed, -ing)
• Read/write/sort words with 2 and 3 letter
blends
• Read and take apart contractions
Letter and Word Work (cont.)
• Take apart words using onset and rhyme
• Make possessives by adding ‘s to a singular
noun
• Recognize homophones (sea/see,
meet/meat)/ Homographs (ball, watch)
• Make/read/write words with long vowel
pattern
• Read words with r controlled vowels
• Add simple prefixes and suffixes to words
Guided Writing
 One student generates a sentence based on a
previously read book. ** Tip: The child that did
the running record creates the sentence.
 Students do not copy the generated sentence.
• The students need to say the sentence several
times and count the words before they begin to
write.
 The students write 1 or 2 sentences while the
teacher supports the writing process by teaching
writing strategies.
Guided Writing (cont.)
 All practice is done on the page above. (Sloppy
Copy)
 Allow students to write with markers, pens, etc.
 All mistakes on the writing page (the bottom
page) are corrected with cover-up tape. (Neat
Sheet)
 Students are held accountable for writing what
they are able to write.
 Have students date the bottom of each writing
page.
Guided ReadingNEW BOOK Introduction
Otherwise Known as a PICTURE WALK!
F&P say, “The key to a student’s access to
the book is your introduction! It is a brief
and lively discussion in which the teacher
interests the children in the story and
produces an appropriate setting for
reading.”
New Book Introduction
Format
 introduction of new book/picture walk
- you do not need to discuss every single page
 students read independently (staggered reading) in a soft
voice while the teacher focuses on each reader for a short
period of time
- this is NOT a time for choral reading
- teacher will make anecdotal notes on the lesson plan about
students’ reading behaviors while listening
 closure and discussion of the reading (comprehension)
