Blue - The book seemed to be a bit too easy for their level. - However, it did work out with the concept (beginning, middle, and end). Since the book was an easy read, it was less challenging for students to identify the beginning, middle, and end of the story. If the book was challenging, students may have struggled to grasp the concept.

Orange - Students loved the story! They seem to be able to relate to the story and also take away a lesson from the book. - Students did well identifying the beginning, middle, and end of the story. - Since students knew the story inside and out, they were able to answer the comprehension questions without a problem.

Red - Students struggled to read the book. - It took them so long to read the text that we pushed the beginning, middle, and end activity to tomorrow. - I plan on rereading parts the book with them tomorrow. - AB wasn't able to focus. I think the book may have been a bit too challenging for him and that led him to lose focus.
