Turquoise Bunk • Grades 2–3 • Lesson 5
BUNK TIME 20 MIN Reading for Knowledge
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Encourage campers to jot down notes or questions from their reading in their home language. Then help them transfer their ideas into English.
Invite campers to stretch or move before settling down to read on their own or with a partner. Distribute texts, or have campers choose a text from the Read-Aloud 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. 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. Bunk Check Circulate as campers read, using the following prompts to check on comprehension and engagement. Knowledge Building What is something you learned or discovered in your Bunk Time reading today? Read-Aloud Connection How did your Bunk Time reading connect to our read-aloud book? Comprehension Check What is the gist of your reading today? Fluency Check Please read aloud to me some of the text you read on your own today. Strength Connection What examples of the 7 Strengths did you notice during your reading?
Topically related text sets for each read-aloud book include a trade book, a selection of decodable texts, and short reads to build and extend knowledge and ensure that all campers have access to texts that they can read on their own.
