have students complete the page.

page T115. I will have the student repeat each word after me. I will review
the chart with the student every day this week.

saying the words on the chart. I will help the student sound the word out.

Reflection: Overall, this lesson went well. Most of the students knew how to
pronounce the words on the chart; however, some of the students did not.
My teacher did not have the transparency for the chart that was listed in the
book, so I created the chart myself and wrote the words just like in the book.
I pointed to a word and called on a student to read the word. Each student
tried to pronounce the word. I did not make every student read every single
word off the chart, because there is just not enough time during reading to
accomplish that goal. If I ever do a lesson like this again, I will try to make it
so all students can read every single word. My class was well behaved and
followed directions during this lesson.
