o Instruct the student to return to reading independently, and continue to each of the other students asking them to read the current and next page to you until every child has read and finished the book. Assessment/Teaching Point: o Ask each student to recall one fact about the description of the gym teacher. o Ask the students what the gym teacher was going to be like from looking at the illustrations in the book.
