About This Lesson
These are guided reading plans I used with a 3rd grade AIS reading group. The reading level of the text is appropriate for end of first grade and early second grade readers. I have aligned my plans to the 3rd grade New York Common Core State Standards. The students read this book as part of a unit of study about characters with a focus on character traits, and how / why a character changes in a story. CCSS alignment: RL.2.1, RL.2.3, RL.2.4, RL.2.5, RL.2.7, RL.3.1, RL.3.3, RL.3.4, RL.3.5, RL.3.7, L.2.4, L.2.5, L.2.6, L.3.4, L.3.5, L.3.6 , SL.2.1, SL.2.3, SL.3.1, SL.3.3
