Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or fluency station, with students reading the passage aloud two or three times to track gains in speed and smoothness.
- Discussion question: Why do you think Jeremy wanted to make it rain, and how did he go about it?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pre-read the passage together, model one sentence with expression, then have the student echo-read before reading independently.
- Extension for advanced readers: have them retell the passage in their own words or add one sentence that continues the story.
- Estimated time: about 10 to 15 minutes including one modeled read, two student reads, and a brief discussion.
