Retell Leveled Reader
Let’s Save Money!

Have students use illustrations as a guide to summarize the important facts they learned from the book. Prompt as needed.

What is this book mostly about?
What did you learn from reading it?
What do you think the author was trying to teach us?

for Fluency

MODEL Read aloud p. 3 of the Leveled Reader
Let’s Save Money!, emphasizing the use of
punctuation and the grouping of certain words.
Point out the way your voice becomes slightly louder
and more animated when you read the sentence with
an exclamation point. Discuss how reading in phrases
with expression creates a more pleasing rhythm than
word-by-word reading.

PRACTICE Have students reread passages from Let’s Save Money! with a partner or individually. For optimal fluency, they should reread three or four times. As students read, monitor fluency and provide corrective feedback. Assess the fluency of students in this group using p. 85a.
