Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Goal: connect the newly heard story to a supported oral retell without treating rich prose as decodable. Codes: AC9E1LE03, AC9E1LY05, AC9E1LY02, AC9E1LY04. Prepare: The signs that moved, three blank scene cards, Day 13 choice.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Blend chat and shop. Say: “Two letters make the first sound in each word; which pair changed?”
  2. Model · 5 min. Read the first two story paragraphs aloud. Think aloud: “Nia and Eli are characters. The signs moved; that is the problem.” Mark first with a paper card. No child is assigned the paragraph to decode.
  3. Guide · 7 min. Finish the story aloud. Invite partners to place three blank scene cards: signs drawn, signs moved, signs clipped and mapped. Reread a sentence when a learner asks; accept an evidence-linked alternative division.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Read one chosen Day 13 controlled strip, then retell the adult story with first/next/last cards, drawing or AAC. Ask for one reason Nia leaves a blank map space. Record story comprehension separately from controlled reading.
  5. Exit · 3 min. Ask a focus learner, “What moved, and what did the group do next?” If the retell loses order, provide two pictured events and reread the transition before a fresh retell.

Access/home/extension: The adult can describe scene cards and accept tactile objects. Home adult reads the original story; a learner tells two events. Extension: ask what the map cannot prove about actual tray care.
