During Reading
Set the Purpose
Give students their copies of the book. Tell them you want them to read the story to find out what the Monsters decide to buy. Have students whisper-read the story at their own pace. Monitor their reading and intervene if necessary to help them with unknown words and to model reading strategies. Select one or two students to assess by having them read a page or two to you orally.
Ask: What does the word start with? What do you think makes sense here and starts with that sound? Now read the whole sentence and see if the word makes sense.
