    Considerations for
    Reader and Task

    Possible Major Instructional Areas of Focus:


    RL.1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
    RL.1.2 Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.
    RL.1.6 Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and
    information provided by the words in a text.
    RL.1.7 Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas.
    1.G.1 Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw
    shapes to possess defining attributes.
    1.G.2 Compose two-dimensional shapes or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite
    shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
    Potential Challenges this Text Poses: The Lexile PowerV Word Selector identified 10
    challenging worlds that are important for the student to know. These vocabulary words should
    be acknowledged before reading aloud the text; patios, tot, halves, bicycles, slices, angle,
    angles, grumbled, screeching, tiles.

    Differentiation/Supports for Students: Instruct the children to listen for words in the story
    they may be unfamiliar with, and either write down the word or raise their hand to signal they
    heard a word they are unfamiliar with. Allow time to explain the meaning of the word during
    the story, or have the children use text features/dictionary to determine the meaning of the
    word and revisit the text.

    Make sure when a specific polygon is mentioned to stop and discuss the different
    attributes/characteristics of the specific shape.
    Provide index cards with a picture of the shapes and a list of their different attributes to
    assist children who make have a difficult time determining the difference.
