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. Dolphins like to live in groups just like people do, but Hope had never met other dolphins. Would dolphins at the rescue center let Hope join their family? Yes! Panama and Winter became like a grandmother and big sister for Hope. This new dolphin family had lots of fun until Panama grew ill. Trainers didn’t know if the dolphin calves would still get along. But Hope and Winter stuck with each other. Today, Hope and Winter are well! They are happy and healthy with the best trainers taking care of them. Men, women, and children travel far to visit these incredible dolphin friends!
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS The passage contains multiple regular and irregular plural nouns. Review the regular plural nouns ( dolphins, groups, lots, trainers, and friends ) and the irregular plural nouns ( people, calves, men, women, and children ) with campers. Point out how the irregular plural nouns do not just simply add an – s or – es . This will reinforce their understanding of the word-reading skill.
