Lesson 3

Instructional Targets: Reading Standards for Informational Text: • Range and Level of Text Complexity: Read and use grade level/age-appropriate informational materials, including history/social studies

and technical texts that are adapted to the student’s reading level • Key Ideas and Details: Answer questions and locate information in text to support the main idea and key details Which of your state standards are aligned to these instructional targets?

Classroom Activities/Lesson Plan: Chapter 1: “Citizens’ Rights” The title of the chapter book is I Am a U.S. Citizen. It focuses on citizenship rights and responsibilities. Chapter 1 introduces basic personal, political and economic rights of citizens. Our rights are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and we are ruled by laws. Laws make sure that we all enjoy our rights.

• Chapter books present a “reading to learn” experience. Therefore, chapter books may be read by the student independently, in a shared reading experience or read aloud. Present one chapter at a time for reading and comprehension.

• After each page is read, ask the discussion question that is in italics at the bottom of each page. Focus on pictures on each page to reinforce understanding. Repeated readings are encouraged.

Read and Answer:

• Select the level of comprehension questions appropriate to the student (text or text with pictures). • Build comprehension and vocabulary knowledge through narrative discussions. • Suggested Reading Levels for this chapter: Level H/I, presented in a text format and Level E, presented in a text format and a

symbol-supported format. Comprehension questions are also in three formats. Level 3 is text-only. Level 2 is symbol-supported. Level 1 is written in sentence-strip format, allowing students to select from multiple choices or one errorless picture choice.

Standards Connection: • These activities are applicable to all chapters. Based on the content of the chapter, determine if this book is a fiction or non-fiction type

of book. • Two lessons are designed to build summarization skills. The first is based on fiction formats that have more of a story line, and the second is

informational text that is based on facts and historical events. * The first two sets of comprehension questions are derived from the lower level of text. Advanced level of mixed questions is provided in text-only format. Pre and post assessment is available through Monthly Checkpoints.

Differentiated Tasks: Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Students will independently read informational materials, including history/social studies and technical texts that have been adapted to the student’s reading level. Students will independently read questions about a story and write/speak/select an answer.

Students will read supported and shared informational materials, including history/social studies and technical texts that have been adapted to the student’s reading level. Students will point to/select a picture from a choice of three in response to a question about a story.

the leaders in your town. You can vote for

the leaders in your state. You can vote for
