for just one sound. Write ck on the board and explain together they make /k/.
Write matt and pack on the board. Read the words then have the students
read them with you. Next create the phonogram ack on the board. Man
words use this pattern. We can make words by adding a letter or more in
front. Model by writing an s in front of the letters and reading the word.
Check for Understanding: Write hill, add, sack, egg, jazz, puff. Have the
students whisper the words to their neighbor, have students give a thumbs
up if they thought their neighbor said the word right and then say the words
as a group. Have children write words that end in -ack on their white board.
Call several students up to write them on the board.
Guided Practice: Together read the story Run, Run, Run! Preface the
reading by introducing the characters and saying you will stop throughout
reading to answer questions. (If time have children partner read around the
room). Read the book to the students. As you read discuss the highlighted
words. Ask the following questions and have the students share their answer
with their partners. What are Jack and Tom doing? Why is Tom huffing and
puffing? Look at the illustration on this page. What does it look like Jack is
doing and why can he take a nap? Who wins the race? Tom says it was not
luck that made Jack lose. What was it?
Closure: Ask the children who remembers what a summary is? A summary
is a way to retell the story in your own words. Kind of like what you do in
Read Naturally. We are going to summarize the story by answer some
questions about the text. You can use your memory to answer them or look
back in the book. We will talk about them together and then you will answer
the questions on your paper. Who is Jack? Describe what Jack looks like. Is
Jack quick? Where is Tom? Why did Tom win? Is Tom quick? Then how did he
win?
Independent Practice: Answer the Look Back and Respond questions.
Assessment: Have the students draw a picture and write a sentence about
the story. (If time permits discuss how they feel about Jack.)
