4th Read Aloud

Spelling Journal-

Vocabulary- Prior to the read aloud, have planned out maybe 3-4 good vocabulary words that will appear during the read aloud. After reading the sentence containing the word, stop the read aloud, and ask the class what they thought X word meant. Reread the sentence, and have the students use context clues to figure it out. (If you need to help focus attention during whole read aloud, you can tell students the words prior to the read aloud or write them on the board. This may result in them just listening for the words, but it will also make sure they are listening completely)

End of chapter/book- When you finish the book, group students up. The groups could then put together their own readers theatre of the main events of the book. The groups could present to the rest of the class.
