INDIVIDUAL READING PLAN- DYLAN, 5TH GRADEJason Cumming, Jeff Phillips, Rachel Hubby, Emma RobinsonTECP67 / ED211Professor Heather Wood

THIS IS DYLAN AND HE IS IN THE 5TH GRADE.

Dylan has a tough time reading. He has difficulty with multi-syllable words and words containing affixes. He has no self-correct skills and reads fairly rapid, skipping over words he does not know. He is reading at Level Q and has difficulty understanding the main idea of what he reads. Because of this, he misses out on key pieces of the plot and can only recall recent passages and pages of what he is reading. He tries to read some of the more complex fantasy books, but has trouble with the comprehension.

Individualized Reading Plan for Dylan

❑Literacy Station Activities including their objectives and a mix of collaborative and independent activities

❑Guided Reading Lessons including their objectives and the texts.

❑Suggested Independent Reading Texts including four books and a brief book talk of each. A script is provided for the teacher to introduce the books to Dylan.

❑Strategic prompts and their objectives

▪ Dylan will use prefixes, suffixes and root words to create new words.

▪ Dylan will self-correct mispronounced words when reading.

▪ Dylan will use word decoding strategies to pronounce miscued words.

▪ Dylan will identify main idea.

Literacy Work Station Activities

▪ Independent Activities:▪ Wonkadoodle▪ Affix Word Journal/ Word Wall

▪ Collaborative Activities:▪ Word Sort- Prefixes, Suffixes and Roots▪ Main Idea Task Cards

Independent Objective

● Wonkadoodle:○ Student will read Wonkadoodle story and answer the end

questions by recalling information from the text.

Independent Literacy Work Station Activity –Wonkadoodle Story and Multiple-choice Questions

▪ Allows for practice with affixes and multi-syllabic words, including nonsense words.

▪ Allows practice for recalling, sequence, and details with multiple-choice prompts.

Independent Objective

● Graphic Organizer:○ Students will be given root words,

prefixes, and suffixes to create larger words and illustrate one word they created.

Word Work Graphic Organizer

Affix Word Journal/ Graphic Organizer

▪ The student will be given a Word Journal. The journal will coincide with the word wall. The student will

use the graphic organizer, to list words with the indicated prefix, suffix, or root. The student will write

words with the indicated affix and then will draw a small picture in the box at the bottom of each

column. This will indicate to the student the different parts and meaning of words. This journal will

consist of pages for each letter of the alphabet and will address the more common affixes for 5 th graders.

After the student completes the affix exercise, he should post 3 words that were constructed using the

affixes to the word wall.

Graphic Organizer for Word WorkIndependent Literacy Work Station Activity

Objective:

Learn how affixes and root words affect word meaning.

Develop an awareness of how to decipher word meaning by analyzing the affixes and root words, and looking at context.

Understand how this knowledge will help them to improve reading comprehension and spelling.

There will be a collection of words with prefixes,

suffixes and roots. The students will identify each

piece of the word and break it down to find the

meaning of each piece of the word. The words will

be multi-syllabic.

Words that will be used in this activity

▪ PREFIX▪ - Irrational, irregular, irrelevant, irresistible, irreversible, irresponsible▪ - Inability, inaccessible, inarticulate, incomplete, incorrect, indivisible, inefficient,

injustice, inaction

▪ SUFFIX▪ Beautify, certify, magnify, mystify, qualify, simplify, terrify, unify▪ Brotherhood, childhood, falsehood, neighborhood, parenthood, sisterhood▪ Musical, optical, tropical, practical, classical, alphabetical, biological

▪ ROOTS▪ Deject, project, reject, objection, eject, reject▪ Junction, juncture, adjunct▪ Identify, identically, identity, identification

Procedure of Independent Word Work

Identify the prefix of the word

Define the prefix

Write the prefix and definition in the prefix column

Prefix

Identify root

Define root

Write the root and the definition in the root column

Roots

Identify Suffix

Define Suffix

Write the suffix and the definition in the root column

Suffix Use this strategy when you find words you do not know

If you cannot define the prefix, suffix, or roots from your graphic, use a dictionary

Continue the

strategy

Collaborative Work Station Activities

Collaborative Objective

● Task Cards○ Students will read task cards and

identify the main idea of the cards by answering multiple choice questions.

Main Idea Task Card

Main Idea Task Card Objective

▪ The main idea task cards are a collaborative activity for students that struggle with obtaining the main point of what they are reading.

▪ There are two sets for each card.

▪ The cards have a short informational text. They will identify the main idea in the paragraph and discuss with a partner or partners. Each reading has 2 sets. Set 2 being more difficult with more information.

Main Idea Task Cards cont

• The main idea task card also has an Answer sheet.• Students will circle the main idea for each card. • Each student in the group will do their own answer sheet. • Students will discuss, as a group, the answers they circled on the answer sheet.• If a student happens to get a card incorrect, they will write and discuss with their group why the main idea they

chose is incorrect.

Answer Sheet for Main Idea Task Cards

Collaborative Objective

●Word Sort○Students will use prefixes, suffixes,

and root words written on cards to form new words.

Word Sort

Word Sort

● The word sort is a collaborative activity for students who have difficulty identifying and correctly reading multisyllabic words with affixes.

● Students will be given three sets of cards. Each card will have either, prefixes, suffixes, and root words.

● Students will then pair the cards, in order to create new words.

Suggested Independent Reading Texts

The Suggested Independent Reading Texts were chosen based on reading Level Q.

The main idea in these books will be made obvious to Dylan after the teacher introduces the text, and provides some introduction with observing the cover and title. However, Dylan will still be responsible for identifying the key features of the main idea and the underlying meanings he will discover through inferring.

Each book will be introduced with a short introduction by the teacher. The introduction will help Dylan understand what he is about to read and why he is about to read it.

James and the Giant Peach

After years of feeling like an outsider in his aunts' house, James finally found a place where he belongs. With a snip of the stem, the peach household starts rolling away--and the adventure begins!Source: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6689.James_and_the_Giant_Peach

After a few mysterious pranks that get blamed on Jared, the boy finally digs up the real prize: Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. Fortunately enough, the kids meet one of the critters listed in the guide -- a brownie named Thimbletack -- who makes it all "real" and helps provide the book's suspenseful conclusion: "'Throw the book away, toss it in a fire. If you do not heed, you will draw their ire.'"

Class Clown

by Johanna Hurwitz, Sheila Hamanaka (Illustrator)

Lucas Cott is one of the smartest kids in Mrs. Hockaday's third grade -- but he is also the most rambunctious. Lucas doesn't mean to be the class clown, so he promises to try to behave, even though it doesn't sound like much fun. With the best intentions, Lucas still manages to cause the unexpected when he accidentally lets a yardful of autumn leaves loose in his classroom, gets his head stuck in a chair during a school assembly, and even makes a daring bet with Cricket, the class brain. But when Mrs. Hockaday assigns him the part of a clown in their class circus, Lucas knows he would be better as the ringmaster. Can he convince his teacher, or will he always be just the class clown? This is a warm and funny story about a boy who learns that there's a time and place for everything -- even humor.
