Lesson Plan 4

Name: Terrance Hill
Teacher: Mr. Thole
Subject: Reading

Opening: I will open this lesson by having Terrance read a passage and answer some questions
about the reading. Up until this point I have done some informal assessment regarding Terrances
comprehension but I am going to do a more formal assessment.

Lesson: I have picked out some books from the G, H, and I reading levels from the reading room. I
believe that Terrance needs to continue to practice to improve his fluency. He seems enthusiastic
about reading. He struggles with words he doesnt recognize but typically gets them after one or
two misses. I think he would greatly benefit from an expanded vocabulary and better word
recognition.

Goals: For this lesson, I would like Terrance to get through the level H books and average less than
1 missed word per page. He was very close to doing this last week but needed help getting through
the longer words. I have also noticed that Terrance does not read as well after a long period of
sitting. I will work on chunking the activity.


Reflection:
Terrance did a very good job of understanding and comprehending the reading passage. I am very
surprised at how well his comprehension is and how well he answers questions related to the
passage. We went back over words that he missed when he was reading to me. I had him rewrite
the word that he missed, make sure he understood it, and then he re-read the passage. I would like
to work with him on fluency and his vocabulary. I will make flash cards of sight words for next time.
I will also try to find worksheets that will benefit his vocabulary.
