8. Mini-Lesson: Reading like a
reader
I could hear it through the woolen cap Pa had
pulled down over my ears. A farm dog
answered the train, and then a second dog
joined in. They sang out, trains and dogs, for
a real long time. And when their voices faded
away it was as quiet as a dream. We walked
on toward the woods, Pa and I.

? Ensuring the student understands
12. Partner Up and Look at Student Work

student understand what to do
? Write a comment to the student that offers
tips for concrete next steps C
? And reflect on how the student might interpret the
comments.
