Jack and Billy and Rose
LT: I can use more than one strategy at a time to figure out a tricky word.


 * 1) This story, Jack and Billy and Rose, is about how families change. If you look at the cover, can you make a prediction about how Jack and Billy's family is going to change in the story?
 * 2) Look at page 2. Where is Jack? (school)
 * 3) Jack is telling his teacher how his family is going to change. He says he is going to get a new baby. Put your finger under the word "new."
 * 4) Look at p. 8. On Tuesday, Dad and Billy didn't come to get Jack after school like they usually do! Why do you think they didn't come?
 * 5) Close books. What do you do when you get stuck on a tricky word?
 * 6) Sometimes you have to do more than one thing at once when you get stuck on a word. Let me show you. "All the children have gone home." Tap out "chil," then think about what makes sense. Let's do one more. "Rose is your little sister." Tap out "sis," then think about what makes sense.
 * 7) When you read today, I want you to practice figuring out tricky words, even if you have to try one strategy and then think about what makes sense.
 * 8) Remind them to read 3 times; pass out stickies in case they get stuck on a tricky word.
 * 9) Sharing: tricky word strategies.
 * 10) Jack was the big brother at the beginning of the book, and he was still the biggest brother at the end of the book. How did Billy change in this story? What changed in his life? Can you find the evidence? (p.16)
