Prompts for Early Readers (HIGHLIGHT all that
apply to this specific lesson):
Check the picture. Does it look right and make sense? Reread and think
about the story.
What can you do to help yourself figure out that word?
Check the end (or middle) of the word. What would look right and make
sense?
Cover the ending. Is there a part you know? Try that again and think
what would make sense.
Chunk the word and think what would make sense.
Do you know another word that looks like this one?
What can you try? What can you do to help yourself?
Put some words together so it sounds smooth. (fluency)
Try reading that like the character would say it. (expression)
What is happening in the story? What is the problem? How might they
solve the problem? How does the character feel now? (comprehension)

- Picture-Walk: Hamza trying to read the print to

guess what was going to happen.
- Related the new word rattle to a maraca, which
he is already familiar with as well as asking if
this would be something his baby sister has.
- Booties was an unknown term. I asked him
chunk the word to break it down into segments
so he was able to come up with correct term.
- Throughout the first couple pages, I noticed
lack of expression (very monotone). Suggested
he reread to follow the punctuation and how the
character would say/sound if it were them
reading.
- After reread, Hamza stated the book was funny

and a good book because he got to pretend to be
a baby and be a puppy during the book.
- Was able to conquer the tough words without
relying on my support when rereading a difficult
passage.
- Do to time-restriction, unable to work on his
comprehension (hopefully can focus on day 2).
How do you think the main character feels now?

- Happy. I think that the puppy is very happy at
the end of the story because he meet the baby
and he wanted to meet the baby the whole story.

- During the picture-walk: Hamza did not use

the text to predict what would happen in this
story.
- While identifying the new vocabulary: Hamza
began to use the skill I taught him of covering
up part of the word to help break it down.
- Read with phenomenal expression! Mentioned
to me, he has been working at home with his
mom to do this more during our sessions.
- Read I hope she comes to take it when the
sentence was I hope she comes tonight. So, I
had Hamza try it again before continuing. He
read it just as he said it the first time.
-Needed to work on decoding the word tonight.

So after completing the reading, I pretended as
though I could not read the page and asked for
help. Hamza looked at the page and while
pointing out each word to me he said each word.
To figure out the word tonight, he covered up
night and read to then night and finally put it all
together.
-Struggled a bit with determining the ending:
B: First, he said my tooth is loose to his puppy
friends.
M: He said, oh no! my tooth is gone.
E: The puppy took a picture and waited for the
tooth fairy.

-After discussion with mentor, we selected that the

-During reread, Hamza did not use

expression to help him in reading. We
worked together on rereading a few pages
to get the expression of the characters

to make sense of the unfamiliar words
-Able to recall the sequence of events:

spaghetti everywhere and telling her that
she was eating it too much. The girl got sick
from eating too much too.

want to play because he loved eating
spaghetti
The girl monkey was eating too much spaghetti

and would not play with her friend. He was
upset, but then he tried to eat spaghetti and he
liked it so much that he wouldnt play with her.
-Selected time because they had just covered
the silent e and long vowels in class previously.

which he did well with.
