On the following pages is an annotated look at a lesson. Lesson Overview There are 20 fully scripted lessons in this guide. All lessons follow the same seven- step routine with some variations within the steps. A minimum of two lessons, or two days of instruction, are dedicated to each read-aloud book. Below and elsewhere we refer to the first lesson for a read-aloud book as “Day 1” and the second lesson as “Day 2” (you will not find this printed on your lessons, which are numbered consecutively from 1 to 20).
