- She chose the same small picture book to read that she read last week. - Just as last week, she struggled to read the title. It was called 'Same and Different' and she read it as 'Sam and Duffy.' - Her word recognition and fluency was weak but her comprehension was strong. I asked comprehension questions throughout the reading and she responded to them without a problem. - I introduced the new book as a nonfiction book and she knew what kind of book it was. - Cindy read the title correctly. Through the picture walk, she could already predict what he book was going to be about. - As she was reading, she enjoyed looking at the real photographs of animals. Many times she commented on what she saw in the picture before she started reading the text. - Although she had trouble reading the names of several animals, she did better with recognizing sight words. - The word sorting activity was a bit challenging for her. It took her a while to recognize the words even if she had already read them from the book. I had to help her get started and kind of guide her before she could start categorizing the rest independently. - Finally, she breezed through the handout.She remembered to use a strategy of looking in the book to figure out how to spell a word from the text.
