The text I will use is Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester.
I chose this text because I know my reader enjoys stories with an element of humor and silliness. This text has a GLE of 3.3/ AD810Lwhich is slightly above his instructional level. We will read the book together as a first read, I feel he can read the bulk of the text independently. Words such as companions, dreadfully, especially, and gracefully are found sporadically. If the words are reviewed prior to reading for identification and meaning hopefully he will be able to retain meaning while reading.
I have purchased the book as an audio e-book in addition to traditional print to allow opportunity to listen to the story as well as reread it on his own. The book also can be used for several other activities within this chapter such as:
Objective B1-b: What happened at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the story?
Objective B3-a: Prove that (character/person) is very .
I like how you purchased the book as an audio book as well. I think a few of my students would benefit from listening to the reading rather than reading themselves. I have one particular student who cannot read, but when read to he can comprehend at a higher level than his reading level.
