It starts with a quick spiral warm up on prefixes, followed by foundational work on text features learned in second grade.


        The single instructional block focuses on making probable predictions about a text. Students will practice determining the next event in the story or text by identifying key details within the text.


        Passages are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support deeper understanding and put their learning into context.
