1st Grade Unit of Study ReadingCharacter Study – Class Checklist, Skills and Strategies to AssessUnit 2

Name

Readers prepare to read and understand by looking at the cover, back cover, pictures, asking, “what might this be about?”

Readers hold the book in their head, asking, “What might this say?” based on what is happening in the text.

Readers retell their text in the midst of reading and at the end to help solve words and understand.

Readers solve words by using other words, letter patterns, using beginning, middle, end of words and thinking about the text.

Readers read sight words with automaticity.

Readers check and fix words by listening to what sounds right, asking, “what fits?”, matching sounds, asking, “Does this look right?”

Readers problem solve quickly having chosen just right text.

Readers assist partners with problems by prompting: “retell”, “Try something”, “Look for parts you know”, Check that”, Fix it up” or “Look again”

Readers listen to each other and hold on to text read or listened to by sharing in the retelling.

Story from Word Study Work Lesson 6 Example

Story introduction:

Andy is on the beach playing in the sand. He is making a ramp for trucks out of sand.

“I am so sad” said Andy. “We do not have damp sand for our ramp”

Andy ran to get damp sand for the ramp. He had the sand.

Andy’s dad swam up to see his ramp of sand.

“That sand ramp looks rad, Andy!” said Dad.

“I can add sand to the ramp”.

Andy and Dad’s hands made the ramp flat.

That sand ramp was like a flat pad.

Andy and Dad were glad.
