Introduction
Handwriting added to the words/phrases seen in the chart in the following paragraphs:
The Washington Monument is a United States symbol. Remember that a symbol is something that reminds us of something else. A United States symbol reminds us about something to do with our country. What are some United States symbols we learned about in Presidents’ Day? A flag is also a symbol of our country, and so is an eagle.
Sometimes a building can be a symbol, too. When a building is there to remind us of something important, it’s a symbol. That kind of building is called a monument. This book tells about the monument that was built to remind us of George Washington, our very first president.

This is a good sentence. The subject is Washington, and the predicate is looks proud in his military uniform. In this sentence, military is describing the uniform. It’s telling what type of uniform it is.

Understanding the Differentiated Instruction Block
Materials
Information added about drama and Reader’s Theater in the paragraph before the Book Recommendation Chart:
For students in the top groups, teachers need sets of texts for fluency and comprehension work. Typically, grade level teams share books, often stored together in a book room or in the school’s media center. Sets of 6–10 books are typical. They can be books used previously for guided reading groups. This is a chance for teachers to add in old favorites and include brand new publications. It is also a chance to include dramas. Since Bookworms Shared Reading and English Language Arts lessons only use intact published trade books, we have not included any dramas. There are many dramas available online, especially in the form of Reader’s Theater scripts. Students in Fluency and Comprehension or Vocabulary and Comprehension could engage in a Reader’s Theater to learn the format of a drama with multiple characters and a narrator. Teachers also need a classroom library. Students finish their written work from Shared Reading, then browse the classroom collection and choose books for independent reading. A Book Recommendation chart allows students to rate their reading and flag classmates whom they think would enjoy a title.
