You may consider breaking the book up into sections. You can have questions that children need to answer according to where you have them stop in the reading. This is something you can do over several days.

You may want to have children use post-it notes to help identify synonyms as they are reading. You can also have them circle or identify various punctuation marks as they go through the text. This is a good time to reinforce the skills focus on in the Word Work section of the lesson plan.
