Additional Lesson Notes:



Begin reading the chapter book “Because of Winn-Dixie,” by Kate DiCamillo or choose your own book. Read two

chapters aloud each day. Read chapters 1 and 2 aloud before this session. You will be referring back to this story

throughout this reading unit and the companion writing unit, Improving the Quality of Personal Narratives.



Students should come to the meeting area with their reading notebooks. All reading center work should be

completed in the same notebook. Students can draw a line and add the center title heading to separate. Teacher

should model how to use the notebook and provide samples. A sample of the log can be posted at the station to

ensure it will be written the correct way.

 Throughout the unit, the teacher will support students’ reading abilities by teaching within a guided reading

structure and providing appropriate leveled literature by use of running record and conferring checklist. The teacher

will immerse students with quality literature within the genre (both fiction and nonfiction) providing them with

ample opportunities to read a variety of texts. This could be done through a reading corner, listening center or

teacher read-aloud, content workshop and Mentor Texts.
