Have students use the
illustrations as a guide to retell
A Whole World in One City.
Prompt as needed.

MODEL Tell students that good silent readers
block out other noises and concentrate on what
they are reading. Point out that they also self-correct
when they misread or skip a word. Then model,
reading p. 3 of the Leveled Reader A Whole World in
One City. First read it aloud, and then read it silently.
Discuss how being a good silent reader helps you understand and remember what you read.

PRACTICE Have individuals find a comfortable place to reread passages from A Whole World in One City silently. Remind them to self-correct if they misread or skip a word. Then have partners reread passages aloud. For optimal fluency, students 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. 353a.

NOW TRY THIS Have students complete their charts and drawings. You may wish to review their charts and see whether they need any additional art supplies. Have them share their mini-murals with classmates.
