LESSON RATIONALE
This lesson needs to be taught, so students will understand the importance of making inferences
and providing evidence to back up their predictions. When students get older, they will have to
be able to defend their statements and beliefs with real evidence. This lesson is the basis for that
skill.
READINESS
I. Goals/Objectives/Standard(s)
A. Goal(s)—
Students will be able to make an inference/prediction
Students will be able to use the text as evidence
Students will be able to identify the beginning, middle and end of a story
o Guided reading group #2
B. Objective(s)—
After completing this lesson, students will be able to predict events with two items
of evidence that supports the prediction.
After this lesson, students will be able to go through and identify the beginning,
middle, and end of one story, by showing one page as evidence.
o Guided reading group 2
C. Standard(s):
K.RL.1. Actively engage in group reading activates with purpose and
understanding.
K.RL.2.1. With support, ask and answer questions about main topics and key
details in a text heard or read.
K.RL.4.1. With support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the
story in which they appear.
K.RL.2.4 Make predictions about what will happen in a story.
II. Management Plan-
Time per lesson element:
i. 5-10 min for mini
ii. 11min per station, and 15-20min per reading group
Use of Space:
i. Mini-lesson/introduction on the carpet
1
ii. Stations at their usual spots around the room: four tables, library and
kitchen area
iii. Guided reading lesson at the back kidney table
list of materials:
Five copies of the book “I am invited to a party” By Mo Williams
Five copies of the book “The Recess Queen” By Alexis O’Neill
Construction paper
Crayons
Mystery bag
Candy
5 Party hats (group one will use (not keep) them)
Jump rope
Prediction Anchor chart
2.
v. If needed, the students at the guided reading station will stay longer to get
through the material.
2
III. Anticipatory set
“Boys and Girls, when I was coming to school today, I found this mysterious bag in my
car with a note.”
Read the note
Students must guess/make predictions about what is in the bag
I will start out giving a very vague hint, and as time goes on, I will give more detailed
hints
o it is small
o you can eat it
o it is sweet
Allow students to make a “prediction”/guess about what is in the bag
“ok guys, I love all of these guesses you have made!”
“But we will have to wait until we are done with our centers to find out what is on our
mystery bag and see if you guys guesses are correct.”
IV. Purpose:
Today we are going to learn how to use the pictures in the book to tell a story. We can also use
the pictures in the book to guess or predict what is going to happen. It is important because we
need to know how to make a prediction and support the prediction.
3
o Station 3 iPads: Here students will use technology in the classroom in an
educational way
o Station 4 Pom-Pom sort: here, students will sort pom-poms onto a laminated
sheet. On that sheet are the letters that we have learned so far in class; this gives
students more exposed to the letters and works on fine motor skills.
o Station 5 playdough: at this station, students are given a sheet without high-
frequency words. Students are expected to mold the playdough into the word.
o Station 6 Kitchen: this station allows the student to play and develop social skills.
o Station 7 counting: here, students practice counting objects and sorting them.
I will probably pull this station and have students meet with Miss. Lindsay
instead.
Guided Reading Group #1
Prereading
Before we begin, I will set out a party hat in front of each student, without saying a word.
This way I will allow students to explore and ask questions.
I will start by asking students questions like (depending on students’ conversation during
exploration) “what are these hats? “Have you ever seen one of these before?” “Where
would you see a hat like this?”
I will then introduce the text. “today we will each be reading this book, it is called: I Am
Invited to a Party By: Mo Williams”
“When we see the word “By” what does that mean? Allow students to respond
“Can anyone tell me what the word “invited” means?
o If they answer correctly, then I will move on.
o If they don’t know what the word is, I will explain.
“Invited means that you have been asked to come to a party or special
event.”
o “Have you ever been invited to a party? Or Have you even invited someone to a
party before?”
I will then pass out a copy of the book to each student.
“Each of you will have a book. I will be reading the story, but I want you to read your
book while I am reading it to you.” “when it is time to turn the page, you will hear this
sound…” make the sound of a page-turning.
“Before I start reading the book to you, I want you each to read/look at the pictures on
each page, and then I want you to make a prediction.
4
o Define what a prediction is
o Let students look at pictures and then let every student share their predictions.
“Wow, I love all these great predictions, now let’s read the story to see if our predictions
were right.”
“Now, let’s start reading. Open your book to this page.” Show students the first page.
Reading
Read the book and pause on page 9 and ask a question
o “What do you guys think piggy is feeling right now?
o Lest students respond first if they are struggling, then prompt them with: “is he
happy. Sad, mad or excited?”
o Allow each student to respond and then continue reading.
Stop reading on page 20 and ask students a question
o “Where do you think they are going?” “What are they getting ready to do?”
o Allow each student to respond and then continue reading.
On page 22 stop and have the students state what the characters did.
o “what did they do?”
o Allow each student to respond and then continue reading.
On page 34-35 have the students answer the question again.
o “Where do you think they are going?” “What are they getting ready to do?”
o Allow each student to respond and then continue reading.
On Page 40-41 have students join in on the reading
On page 48-49 have the students answer the questions again
o “Oh wow, they are doing it again.” “What do you think they are going to do this
time?”
o Allow each student to respond and then continue reading.
On page 57 have the students join in on the reading.

“Now we are going to go back and look in our book to see if we can prove if they were
scared.” So we need to find a picture that shows us that they were scared.”

“I want you guys to go look in the book for a picture that you think shows that they were
scared.”
o “Very good” prompt students if necessary.
“Now I want you to go through the book again, and I want you to pick your favorite
page.”
“what is happening on that page.” Ask this to each student
“Can you tell me what is happening in this page.”
Very good guys, thank you for all being so good and reading with me today

Applying
If time allows, we will then read “Hello Door” By: Alastair Heim and apply the skills we
just learned.
If not, then we will do it on another day.
Prereading
After the students are seated, I will lay the jump rope out on the table and I will start
playing a game by myself. I will also have some balls and fidgets on the table. I will not
say anything to the students at first, until they ask me or touch one of the toys. As soon as
they sty to join in, I will tell them that they are not allowed to until I am done, because I
have to play first.
After playing along for a little bit I will then ask the students some questions.
o “have you even had someone tell you cannot play with them?” Have you ever told
someone that?”

“Today we will all be reading a story about Mean Jean, the recess queen.”
