Read and Comprehend: This is a great activity for the kids at this point in the year. The questions on the back really show whether or not a student is comprehending this passage. I had one student who is very fluent reader that did not do so well on the questions. It was great to sit down with him and go over the parts of this reading passage to see what went wrong. Turns out he was just rushing. It was good for both of us to sit down and go over this together.
I’m looking to see how well students put the sentence together as well. I also look for the period and a capital letter to begin the sentence. I still have kids who forget, which is so frustrating! I hand it back to them and ask them to edit it. If they still don’t include capitals and punctuation, then I document that on the rubric at the end of the month.
