Lesson Plan 5

Step 1: Pre-Instructional Activity

Students will be asked a series of questions about their individual reading engagement.

Students will be introduced to a pre-determined leveled text and complete a picture walk

through the book.

The teacher will introduce the story, and give instructions for reading the story that are

included on the test itself (Appendix I).

Step 2: Assessment

Students will be assessed on oral reading fluency and will be marked down for miscues

and omissions during oral reading by doing a running record on the sheet provided.
 Following the reading of the story, students will be asked a series of questions that relate

to the story to test their comprehension. Their answers to the questions will help the

teacher grade them on a number scale from 1-4.

The scores for this test will gauge a students reading level, as well as, their ability to

fluently read and comprehend a grade level text.
