to explore this story for a few minutes while all students find their
seats. After all students are seated, the teacher will proceed to instruct

of a book. Teacher will then read the book with the students. When the

the book that they are learning. This will continue for three weeks.
After three weeks of repeating this on a weekly basis, students will
begin their Independent practice. They will be expected to quietly read
a book on their Ipads, using their headphones, using the audio book as
a crutch if they get caught on a word that they do not recognize. They
will then be expected to complete the matching worksheet that they
will be given to prove that they understand the concept that they were
taught. This will continue on once a week for the school year.
