peanut butter on one slice of bread.Then,I spread the jelly on the other slice of bread.After that,I put the slices together,put the sandwich on a plate,and cut it in half.Last,I put everything away

information that they already know something about.encourage those who finish early to go back and reread the text.When students have finished reading,have them go back and underline parts of the text that they already had knowledge of before reading.Modelthereadingstrategyofconnectingtopriorknowledge.Think-aloud:When I read that chocolate grows on a tree called the cacao tree,it made me think of other foods that grow on trees.I know that many types of fruits,like apples,bananas,and oranges,grow on trees.There are also trees that grow various types of nuts.All of these foods taste pretty good when they are picked off the tree.This makes me wonder if the beans in the pods that grow on the cacao tree taste good,too.Havestudentssharesomethingtheyunderlinedandexplainhowtheunderlinedtexthelpedthembetter understand what they

these words using decoding strategies and context clues.Reflect on the Reading Strategy Think-aloud:Before I read the book,I knew only a few things about chocolate.One thing I knew is that there are different kinds of chocolate.After reading,I now know that chocolate makers blend different beans together to make different kinds of chocolate.Already knowing that chocolate can have different flavors helps me to better understand why the taste can vary.Askstudentstosharetheconnectionstheymadetothetextusingpriorknowledge.Reinforcehowmakingconnectionsbetweeninformationinthetextandthingstheyalreadyknow keeps them actively involved in the reading
