Benchmark Advance Lesson Demonstration, Full Reading Block

This was filmed using materials from Unit 3, Week 3 in the 3rd Grade Benchmark Advance program. The demonstration encompasses an entire 90 minute reading block. This was Day 1 and the launch to the week. Consequently, it begins with the reading mini-lesson, Build Knowledge and Integrate Ideas. This is followed by the mini-lesson, Recount Key Details and Determine Main Ideas. The demonstration moves lesson 12 to Day 1. The demonstration includes the read aloud, “Lonely Island” from the Read Aloud Handbook. The lesson concludes with students completing a worksheet on closed syllables followed by students accessing their leveled readers via Clever. There is a resource, to accompany the read aloud, which can be found at http://www.justtwoteachers.com.
