School: O’dea Elementary (Gage Cambell) Grade Level: 2nd grade Content Area: Reading
Lesson Idea/Topic and This lesson is focused on introducing fluency strategies, directly practicing
Rational/Relevance: these strategies, and reading both a familiar book to continue practice.
Student Profile: Gage was very successful in meeting the comprehension standards that
were foundational to last week’s lessons. It is clear that Gage’s reading is
interrupted when he pauses to sound out words. Although this is a good
decoding strategy, it is important to move that strategy inward (sounding
out the word in his mind rather than out loud). This week’s lessons are
focused on practicing fluency strategies.
Content Standard(s) addressed by this lesson: Second Grade, Standard 2. Reading for All Purposes. Apply knowledge of complex spelling patterns
(orthography) and word meanings (morphology) to decode words with accuracy. Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis
skills in decoding words. (CCSS: RF.2.3) Read multisyllabic words accurately and fluently.
Understandings: Gage was very successful in utilizing comprehension strategies while reading a new book. Many times throughout the book Gage would sound
out words (specifically two syllable words) and it would interrupt his reading (and subsequently his comprehension). By re-reading the same book, Gage can
focus his attention and energy on reading the same book fluently. This re-read will allow space for Gage to practice these words.
Inquiry Questions: (Essential questions relating knowledge at end of the unit of instruction, select applicable questions from standard)
Every student will be able to: Read a familiar book and focus on using fluency strategies.
This means: Reading multisyllabic words fluently (not sounding out syllables).
