What kind of uniform do you think it is? Let’s make some predictions. Read to page 8. What do you think Ben’s dad is? During Reading Using appropriate Guided reading strategies, students will be reading at their own pace and teachers will be listening to students read, monitoring, giving feedback, taking anecdotal notes and running records.

Attend to Comprehension Within, Beyond, & About the text: After Reading Within the Text—What was happening that Ben was so excited about? What did he do at school? Who comes to school to pick up Ben? What does Ben’s dad do when he sees him?

Beyond the Text—How do you think Ben feels about his dad? What makes you say that? Who else besides his teacher do you think Ben told about his dad? When Ben’s dad picks him up how do you think he feels? Why? How do you think his dad feels? Why does he feel this way?

Comprehension—By looking at the title, the pictures and the text we can make predictions about what we think the story is about and what will happen. In this story We looked at the cover and realized that Ben’s dad wore a uniform. The uniform could be a policeman, a sailor or maybe even a postman. We made some predictions. When we got to page 8 -9 we could confirm out prediction because Ben drew a picture with a ship and his dad. It also said in the words on page 11 that he takes care of the engines on the ship. We should always check and confirm our predictions or they just become guesses. Predicting and confirming our predictions is an important strategy that good readers use.

Phonics-- On page 11 we read the word “ship” We also see the /sh/ in the word shouted on page 2. “sh” says /sh/ Let’s think of some other words that have the /sh/ sound. I will say some words. Put your thumbs up if it begins with /sh./ sound. Put your thumbs down if it does not begin with /sh/
