This lesson Plan should be done twice a week and some night for homework during a 3 month course of time. The teacher should compare each assessment to see if Mary is improving with her reading, vocabulary and comprehension. This way the teacher can switch the assignment and also move Mary's reading level up or down. The great thing about using Raz-kids the entire class can do it independently because each student has their own account and it can be independent work. This also would not have a student like Mary feel behind.

Instructional procedure
· Students will log into their Raz-kids
account where I already set their reading level to begin reading. They will listen to the story once and then
read it on their own twice. After they have read it twice they will answer a
series of questions. Students should be able to complete two stories. The
teacher would receive their scores immediately after to record their
assessment.
· Students will also write down any words they
had trouble understanding. Raz-kids will give them vocabulary words to answer. If they get them
incorrect those words would add on to their vocabulary list.
· The students will look up the definition in
the dictionary of the words and create a sentence for each word.
· After the teacher has graded and review
their definition and sentences they will create a short story in their
writing notebooks with these words.
· Struggling students will only have to read
one story and take their time with creating a short story.
