Student is at the board and works with magnetic letters to sort into boxes drawn on the
bottom of the board, letter work. Student returns to a desk and sits next to Y. Y gives,
her a book and tells her to think about how it sounds when she reads. Y gives her
another book and tells her to make it sound like the previous book. The student reads
and turns the pages when Y says,"That sounded great keep going.” Student keeps
reading Y says, "I like the way you pushed your eyes through that." Y makes marks on
a running records page.
When the student finished, Y said, "Let's take a look at these sentences." Y went
through the book and told her, “Bravo for pushing through parts of the book.”
Y tells the student to get up and walks over to the board, She shows her the word
“were”. Y has her read the word multiple times then scrambles the letters and has the
student put them back in order multiple times. She then shows her the word was. She
has her read it multiple times, close her eyes and see it, read it with her eyes closed,
then had her unscramble it multiple times. Y then took the “a” and replaced it with a
different colored “a”. The student was able to put the word in order each time
They went back to the desk and Y gave the student another book to read. Y did running
records as the student read. When finished Y went back to a page in the book and
showed the student a place where she struggled and pushed through and told her good
job. Y then had her go back to the board with letters

says, "I'm going to zoom us through here.” Y finishes the last page and goes back to a
couple pages the student made mistakes on and went over what she did. Y told the
student, "Good readers don't give up until it makes sense and that's what you did. Way
to go Cheyanne!"
