Expand on the Reading
Writing Connection
Talk about what happened at the end of the story. Ask students what they think Jackal might have done next. Have them draw a picture to show what they think he might have done. Have them write a sentence for their picture, using phonetic spelling.
Reading Independently
Encourage students to reread the book independently or with a partner.
Home Connection
Encourage students to take the book home to read with their families.
Assessment
- Monitor students’ reading and listen to their responses during the Reflect on Reading Strategies section to determine the reading strategies students are using. Note if they try to sound out words using letter/sound correspondences.
- Listen to students’ responses during the comprehension discussion to determine if they can recognize key events in the story and sequence them in the right order. Review their completed worksheets to determine if they can sequence events. Note if the events they select are the most important in the story.
- Review students’ completed phonics worksheet to determine their knowledge of r-family blends.
