PREVIEW
Explore the word analysis skill. Point to the target words in the title of the reader to reinforce the short vowel sound. Display the keyword-picture card for the letter a.
Identify high-frequency words. Explain to students that these are words that they will not always be able to sound out. If necessary, model the steps to learning words like these: 1) look at the word; 2) say the word, and name the letters; 3) close your eyes and try to picture the word.

Encourage fluent reading. Remind students that fluent readers read with expression and pay attention to punctuation. Provide ample opportunities for students to reread sentences, pages, and the entire reader more than once to develop automaticity and fluency.

TEXT SUMMARY In this story, a girl looks forward to riding her bike with a friend until she receives some bad news.
WORD ANALYSIS SKILL
This reader is designed to provide supported practice in reading one-syllable words with a long vowel sound and final silent e.
TARGET WORDS ate, base, bike, broke, gave, hike, Jade, lake, made, mope, Pete, ride, rode, safe, smile, take, time, wave, woke

PREVIEW
Explore the word analysis skill. Point to the target words in the title of the reader to reinforce the concept that when an e occurs after a consonant at the end of a syllable, it usually makes the vowel sound long.
Identify high-frequency words. Explain to students that these are words that they will not always be able to sound out. If necessary, model the steps to learning words like these: 1) look at the word; 2) say the word, and name the letters; 3) close your eyes and try to picture the word.
READ
Support accurate decoding. If students struggle to read a word with a long vowel and final silent e, remind them that the e has no sound and makes the first vowel say its name. Model this strategy: Point to the e at the end of the word, and make an arc to the first vowel as you say its name. Then, sound out the word.
Encourage fluent reading. Remind students that fluent readers read with expression and pay attention to punctuation. Provide ample opportunities for students to reread sentences, pages, and the entire reader more than once to develop automaticity and fluency.
DISCUSS

What is the central message or lesson of the story? (Students answers will vary but should be similar to “If something goes wrong, it is helpful to stay positive and look for a solution.”)
Suggest a different title for this book. Explain why your title fits the story. (Student answers will vary.)

PREVIEW
Explore the word analysis skill. Point to the target words in the title of the reader to reinforce the concept of a word family as a set of words that have the same ending sound and letter pattern. Draw attention to target words in the reader that belong to other word families.
Identify high-frequency words. Explain to students that these are words that they will not always be able to sound out. If necessary, model the steps to learning words like these: 1) look at the word; 2) say the word, and name the letters; 3) close your eyes and try to picture the word.

Encourage fluent reading. Remind students that fluent readers read with expression and pay attention to punctuation. Provide ample opportunities for students to reread sentences, pages, and the entire reader more than once to develop automaticity and fluency.
DISCUSS

PREVIEW
Explore the word analysis skill. Point to the target words in the title of the reader to reinforce the concept that two consecutive vowels can team together to make the long sound of the first vowel. Draw attention to target words in the reader that include other long vowel teams. Display the keyword-picture cards for long vowel teams.
Identify high-frequency words. Explain to students that these are words that they will not always be able to sound out. If necessary, model the steps to learning words like these: 1) look at the word; 2) say the word, and name the letters; 3) close your eyes and try to picture the word.
READ
