Lesson 9 Instructional Targets

Reading Standards for Literature • Range and Level of Text Complexity: Experience grade level and age-appropriate literature materials, including poems, biographies, chapter

books, fiction and nonfiction works that are adapted to student reading level. • Key Ideas and Details: Answer questions to explain the main ideas, details and inferences of a story. Which of your state standards are aligned to these instructional targets?

Classroom Activities/Lesson Plan Chapter 4: Computers for Work and School

The title of the chapter book is Computers! Computers! Computers! The fourth chapter, Computers for Work and School focuses on how we use the computer every day for work and for school. Computers can help us do a lot of work. • Chapter books present a “reading to learn” experience. Therefore, students may read independently or in a shared reading experience or books

may be read to them. Present students with one chapter at a time for reading and comprehension instruction. • After each page is read, ask the discussion question that appears in italics at the bottom of the page. Focus on pictures to reinforce understanding.

Repeated readings are encouraged. • Suggested Reading Levels for this chapter include: Levels J/K, presented in a text format, and E, presented in both text and symbol-supported

formats.

Read and Answer Comprehension activities extend beyond “checking” what students remember from reading. During instruction, students learn to refer to the book, using both illustrations and text, to locate answers to questions. Students recognize types of responses appropriate to who, what and where formats. Question responses may also provide students with a foundation for story retell. Activities should be repeated throughout the unit to increase students’ skills in multiple areas of comprehension. • Select the level of comprehension questions appropriate to each student. Comprehension questions are also in three formats. Level 3 is text only.

Level 2 is symbol-supported. Level 1 is written in sentence strip format, allowing students to select from multiple choices or one errorless picture choice.

• Build comprehension and vocabulary through discussions.

Standards Connection • These two standards connection lessons are designed to build summarizing skills and are applicable to all chapters. Based on the content of the

chapter, determine whether this book is a work of fiction or nonfiction. Select the first lesson if the chapter is based on fictional formats that have a story line and the second lesson if the chapter is based on informational text that includes facts and historical events.

The first two sets of comprehension questions are derived from the lower levels of text. An advanced level of mixed questions is provided in text-only format.

Pre- and post-assessments are available through Monthly Checkpoints. Differentiated Tasks

Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 • Students will independently read literature

forms, including chapter books, biographies, poems, fiction and nonfiction works that have been adapted to student reading level.

• Students will independently read questions about a story and write, speak or select an answer.

• Students will read supported and shared literature forms, including chapter books, biographies, poems, fiction and nonfiction works that have been adapted to student reading level.

• Students will point to or select a picture from a choice of three in response to a question about a story.

• Students will actively participate in supported reading of literature forms, including chapter books, biographies, poems, fiction and nonfiction works that have been adapted to student ability level.

• Students will respond to a question by choosing a single option or errorless picture.
