READING POWER 20 MIN Word-Reading Skill Review
In this lesson, you will review the word-reading skill with campers. In the following lesson, campers will play a game to practice the skill, strengthen comprehension, and demonstrate understanding. Base Words and Suffixes Say: Remember that a suffix is a group of letters added to the end of a base word to change its meaning. Let’s take the word race , which means “a contest of speed,” and add the suffix -er . How does the ending change the meaning? (It changes the word to racer , which is someone or something that races.) Display the Suffixes Chart and review suffix meanings. Put it where players can see it as they play the game.

Reading Fluency For the fluency practice, you may use the decodable passage and routines provided here or choose a passage from the book and the fluency routine that works best for your group. Malala knew that girls in Pakistan did not have the same rights as boys. She wanted equality. She needed to feel free. She felt free in class. But when an enemy began a harmful war, they told girls they could no longer go to school. Malala continued attending classes. She spoke fearlessly about her commitment to education. The enemy demanded that she stop. They tried to end her life. Luckily, she survived. Malala left Pakistan for the U.K. She attended school freely but knew that girls and boys in many places could not. She did not sit silently. She traveled the globe and started a movement. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Revisit the passage and reread it. Guide campers to understand that this passage summarizes and restates the key points of Malala’s story. Review any difficult vocabulary with campers and make sure they understand the meaning of words such as rights, equality , and movement . Look at base words such as harm and fear , and review how the suffixes change the meaning.
