15 minutes Introduce Spelling Words • Remind students that they will have a list of spelling words to practice and learn each week. • Tell students that the words for this week will use the spelling alternatives that they have learned for the /m/ sound, as well as review consonant clusters. • Read and write each spelling word, underlining and reviewing the alternative spelling or consonant cluster in each word. Have students repeat each word after you. Remind students that the last word is a Tricky Word. Tricky Words do not follow the rules, so their spellings must be memorized.

Small Group • Divide students into two groups. You will work with Group 1, students who need more direct support and immediate feedback, while students in Group 2 should partner read. Group 1: Meet with students needing more direct support. Listen as students take turns reading aloud “The Yard Sale.” Work with students to complete Worksheet 11.4, referring back to the story to help them answer the questions. Group 2: Tell students to take turns reading “The Yard Sale.” Students should then complete Worksheet 11.4, referring back to the story to help them answer the questions. Tell them if they finish early, they can illustrate one of the words or phrases on the board, or reread a previous story in the Reader.

2.
Inferential Why can’t Grace buy both books? (Grace does not have enough money to buy two books, so she only buys one book for her sister.)
