Turquoise Bunk • Grades 2–3 • Lesson 6
Campers practice fluency through engaging and exciting Readers’ Theater , providing campers opportunities to work together in pairs or small groups.
BRING THE TEXT TO LIFE 20 MIN
Readers’ Theater Divide campers into pairs or small groups. Make sure they have their notebooks open to the decodable passage from the previous lesson or to the selected book passage. Read the passage aloud, then have campers read it together several times until they understand what is happening in the text and can interpret and perform the scene. Give campers about five minutes to choose their roles and practice the scene, and then a few minutes to act it out. (You may choose to use a scene from the book instead.)
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Review the passage with campers before asking them to read. Check comprehension, and correct any mispronunciations. Use movements and facial expressions to demonstrate what is happening in the scene, and encourage campers to do the same during Readers’ Theater.
BUNK TIME 20 MIN Reading for Knowledge
Invite campers to stretch or move before settling down to read on their own or with a partner. Distribute texts from the read-aloud book text set to encourage extending knowledge related to today’s read-aloud. Make sure all campers have a book or text that they can read comfortably on their own. When about five minutes remain in the session, ask campers to jot down in their notebooks something new they learned—or a connection they made—during their reading. Invite volunteers to share with the group. If time allows, encourage campers to explore and choose a book from your classroom library to read during a break or to take home to share with their family.
