Second Practice Running Record

Building Meaning Lesson Plan

This student is a great reader at an accuracy rate of 96%. However, she does need a little practice with reading with meaning of the words. According to the running record assessment, she frequently read “most” instead of “must”. In context with the sentence it doesn’t really make sense.

To address this student needs I will do a reading activity that will build meaning.

·        Choose a book that’s easy and simple to comprehend, then with guided reading help the student read with the meaning of the words.

·        After each sentence I will ask questions- what did you read?

·        I will cover some words in the story and ask the student to predict what the word is based on what makes sense- what fits in the sentence according to the meaning.

·        If the student makes an error and it does not fit with the meaning of the sentence, I will ask the student to repeat- does this word make sense in this sentence.

·        Connections of the story with real life experiences. I will ask the students has this ever happened to you? What do you think it feels like to be this character?
